40 He went back to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “What, you couldn't stay awake with me for just one hour?41 Stay awake and pray, so that you don't fall into temptation. Yes, the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”42 He went away a second time and prayed.
“My Father, if this cup cannot be taken from me without me drinking from it, then your will be done,” he said. 43 He went back and found them sleeping, for they just couldn't stay awake.44 So he left them once more, and went off and prayed a third time, repeating the same things.45 Then he returned to the disciples, and told them, “How can you still be sleeping and resting? Look, the time has come. The Son of man is about to be betrayed into the hands of sinners!46 Get up, let's go! See, the one who's betraying me has arrived.”
