Mark 14:39

He went away again and prayed the same thing.

When you pray, do not babble repetitiously like the Gentiles, because they think that by their many words they will be heard.

He went away a second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done."

Then Jesus told them a parable to show them they should always pray and not lose heart.

I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me.
