Matthew 26:44

God's Word

After leaving them again, he went away and prayed the same prayer a third time.

See the chapter Copy

He found them asleep again because they couldn’t keep their eyes open.

Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, “You might as well sleep now. The time is near for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners.

“When you pray, don’t ramble like heathens who think they’ll be heard if they talk a lot.

Jesus used this illustration with his disciples to show them that they need to pray all the time and never give up.

I begged the Lord three times to take it away from me.
