Ye know not

"You know not what you are asking," said Jesus. "Can you drink the cup that I drink, or be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?"

In the same way the Spirit also takes hold with us in our weakness; for we know knot how to pray as we ought; but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings which cannot be uttered.

You continue to ask and do not receive, because you are asking with a wrong purpose, in order to spend it upon your pleasures.

The cup

Then he went forward a short distance, and fell on his face and prayed. "O, my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt."

"Abba, Father," he said, "all things are possible with thee. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I will, but what thou wilt."

"Father, if thou art willing, take away this cup from me; but thy will, not mine, be done!"

(The slave's name was Malchus.) Then Jesus said to Peter. "Put up your sword in its sheath. the cup which my Father has given me, shall I not drink it?"

Baptized with the

They answered him, "We can." "You shall indeed drink the cup that I drink, and with the baptism that I am baptized with shall you be baptized,

"Would it were already kindled! But I have a baptism to be baptized with, and how am I straitened till it is accomplished!

We

But Peter said to him, "Even if I must die with you, I will never deny you." And so said all the disciples.
