Matthew 26:37-39

New Testament for Everyone

³⁷ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and began to be very upset and distressed.

³⁸ “My soul is overwhelmed with grief,” he said, “even to death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

³⁹ Then, going a little further on, he fell on his face and prayed.

“My father,” he said, “if it’s possible—please, please let this cup go away from me! But . . . not what I want, but what you want.”
