He took with him Kefa and Zavdai's two sons. Grief and anguish came over him,

and he said to them, "My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake with me."

Going on a little farther, he fell on his face, praying, "My Father, if possible, let this cup pass from me! Yet -- not what I want, but what you want!"

He returned to the talmidim and found them sleeping. He said to Kefa, "Were you so weak that you couldn't stay awake with me for even an hour?

Stay awake, and pray that you will not be put to the test -- the spirit indeed is eager, but human nature is weak."

A second time he went off and prayed. "My Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, let what you want be done."

Again he returned and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy.

Leaving them again, he went off and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

He came and found them sleeping; and he said to Kefa, "Shim`on, are you asleep? Couldn't you stay awake one hour?

and again he came and found them sleeping, their eyes were so very heavy; and they didn't know what to answer him.

The third time, he came and said to them, "For now, go on sleeping, take your rest. . . .There, that's enough! The time has come! Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners!

Get up! Let's go! Here comes my betrayer!"

“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me; still, let not my will but yours be done.”

There appeared to him an angel from heaven giving him strength,
