Matthew 26:44

then he left them once more, and went to prayers the third time, using the same words.

I besought the Lord thrice, to make him leave me.

When you pray, be not verbose, as the heathen are: for they think they shall be heard for their loquaciousness.

Jesus propos'd likewise this parable to them, to show that they should persevere in prayer, and not be discouraged.
