Mark 14:36-38

Easy-to-Read Version

³⁶ He said, “ Abba,^[a] Father! You can do all things. Don’t make me drink from this cup.^[b] But do what you want, not what I want.”

³⁷ Then he went back to his followers and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, “Simon, why are you sleeping? Could you not stay awake with me for one hour? ³⁸ Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. Your spirit wants to do what is right, but your body is weak.”
