Matthew 26:44

And leaving them again, he went away [and] prayed for the third [time], saying the same thing again.

Three times I appealed to the Lord about this, that it would depart from me.

"And now, listen to the prayer of your servant and to his pleas for mercy. Shine your face upon your desolate sanctuary {for your sake, O Lord}.

"But [when you] pray, do not babble repetitiously like the pagans, for they think that because of their many words they will be heard.

And he told them a parable to [show that] they must always pray and not be discouraged,
