And again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.
“And when you are praying, do not use meaningless repetition as the Gentiles do, for they suppose that they will be heard for their many words.
Keep watching and praying that you may not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart,
Concerning this I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me.
He, in the days of His flesh, offered up both prayers and supplications with loud crying and tears to the One able to save Him from death, and He was heard because of His reverence.
