Matthew 26:39-43 Contemporary English Version Anglicised (CEVUK00)

39. Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, don't make me suffer by making me drink from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want.”

40. He came back and found his disciples sleeping. So he said to Peter, “Can't any of you stay awake with me for just one hour?

41. Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”

42. Again Jesus went to pray and said, “My Father, if there is no other way, and I must suffer, I will still do what you want.”

43. Jesus came back and found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open.
