And he went on a little way, and threw himself on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass by me. Yet not as I please but as you do!" When he went back to the disciples he found them asleep. And he said to Peter, "Then were you not able to watch with me for one hour? You must all watch, and pray that you may not be exposed to trial! One's spirit is eager, but flesh and blood are weak!" He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it cannot pass by me without my drinking it, your will be done!"
