When the earth totters, with all its inhabitants, it is I who keep its pillars steady. Selah
Rouse yourself, rouse yourself! Stand up, O Jerusalem, you who have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his wrath, who have drunk to the dregs the cup of staggering.
Thus says your Sovereign, the Lord, your God who pleads the cause of his people: See, I have taken from your hand the cup of staggering; you shall drink no more from the cup of my wrath.
For thus says the Lord: If those who do not deserve to drink the cup still have to drink it, shall you be the one to go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished; you must drink it.
Peter said to him, “Even though I must die with you, I will not deny you.” And so said all the disciples.
And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me, yet not what I want but what you want.”
Again he went away for the second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”
But all this has taken place, so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted him and fled.
He said, “Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me, yet not what I want but what you want.”
I have a baptism with which to be baptized, and what constraint I am under until it is completed!
“Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me, yet not my will but yours be done.” [[
Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword back into its sheath. Am I not to drink the cup that the Father has given me?”
Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness, for we do not know how to pray as we ought, but that very Spirit intercedes with groanings too deep for words.
You ask and do not receive because you ask wrongly, in order to spend what you get on your pleasures.
