Matthew 26:38-42 God's Word Translation (GW)

38. Then he said to them, “My anguish is so great that I feel as if I’m dying. Wait here, and stay awake with me.”

39. After walking a little farther, he quickly bowed with his face to the ground and prayed, “Father, if it’s possible, let this cup ⌊of suffering⌋ be taken away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine.”

40. When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour?

41. Stay awake, and pray that you won’t be tempted. You want to do what’s right, but you’re weak.”

42. Then he went away a second time and prayed, “Father, if this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, let your will be done.”
