Matthew 26:44

PrayerGod's will and calling

42 A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”

43 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.

So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45 Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”
