And prayed

Going on a little further, he threw himself on the ground, and began to pray that, if it were possible, he might be spared that hour.

Then he withdrew about a stone's throw, and knelt down and began to pray.

Jesus, in the days of his earthly life, offered prayers and supplications, with earnest cries and with tears, to him who was able to save him from death; and he was heard because of his devout submission.

O my father

Again, a second time, he went away, and prayed. "My Father," he said, "if I cannot be spared this cup, but must drink it, thy will be done!"

So they moved the stone away; and Jesus, with uplifted eyes, said: "Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard my prayer;

Now I am distressed at heart and what can I say? Father, bring me safe through this hour--yet it was for this very reason that I came to this hour--

Let

"You do not know what you are asking," was Jesus' answer. "Can you drink the cup that I am to drink?" "Yes," they exclaimed, "we can."

I can do nothing of myself; I judge as I am taught; and the judgment that I give is just, because my aim is not to do my own will, but the will of him who sent me.

For I have come down from Heaven, to do, not my own will, but the will of him who sent me;

Father, honor thine own name." At this there came a voice from Heaven, which said: "I have already honored it, and I will honor it again."

But he is coming that the world may see that I love the Father, and that I do as the Father commanded me. Come, let us be going.

We, the strong, ought to take on our own shoulders the weaknesses of those who are not strong, and not merely to please ourselves.

He appeared among us as a man, and still further humbled himself by submitting even to death--to death on a cross!
