Ye know not

But Jesus said to them, You have no knowledge of what you are saying. Are you able to take of my cup? or to undergo the baptism which I am to undergo?

And in the same way the Spirit is a help to our feeble hearts: for we are not able to make prayer to God in the right way; but the Spirit puts our desires into words which are not in our power to say;

You make your request but you do not get it, because your request has been wrongly made, desiring the thing only so that you may make use of it for your pleasure.

The cup

And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me; but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

When the earth and all its people become feeble, I am the support of its pillars. (Selah.)

For this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, has said to me: Take the cup of the wine of this wrath from my hand, and make all the nations to whom I send you take of it.

And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; take away this cup from me: but even so let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

Father, if it is your pleasure, take this cup from me: but still, let your pleasure, not mine, be done.

Baptized with the

And they said to him, We are able. And Jesus said to them, You will take of the cup from which I take; and the baptism which I am about to undergo you will undergo:

But there is a baptism which I have to undergo; and how am I kept back till it is complete!

We

Peter says to him, Even if I am put to death with you, I will not be false to you. So said all the disciples.

Pride goes before destruction, and a stiff spirit before a fall.
