New Century Version

Matthew 26:39-43 New Century Version (NCV)

39. After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, do not give me this cup of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want.”

40. Then Jesus went back to his followers and found them asleep. He said to Peter, “You men could not stay awake with me for one hour?

41. Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak.”

42. Then Jesus went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this painful thing to be taken from me, and if I must do it, I pray that what you want will be done.”

43. Then he went back to his followers, and again he found them asleep, because their eyes were heavy.
