Ye know not

Jesus said, "You do not know what you are asking. Can you drink the cup I have to drink, or undergo the baptism I have to undergo?"

So too the Spirit assists us in our weakness; for we do not know how to pray aright, but the Spirit pleads for us with sighs that are beyond words,

you do ask and you do not get it, because you ask with the wicked intention of spending it on your pleasures.

The cup

"Abba, Father," he said, "thou canst do anything. Take this cup away from me. Yet, not what I will but what thou wilt."

saying, "Father, if it please thee, take this cup away from me. But thy will, not mine, be done."

whereupon Jesus said to Peter, "Sheathe your sword. Am I not to drink the cup which the Father has handed me?"

Baptized with the

They said to him, "We can." Jesus said, "You shall drink the cup I have to drink and undergo the baptism I have to undergo;
