Mark 14:36-40 Good News Bible (GNB)

36. “Father,” he prayed, “my Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.”

37. Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake even for one hour?”

38. And he said to them, “Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39. He went away once more and prayed, saying the same words.

40. Then he came back to the disciples and found them asleep; they could not keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to say to him.
