SoJesussaidto Peter,"Putthe swordinto the sheath;the cupwhichthe Fatherhas givenMe, shall I not drinkit?"
But the kingsaid,"Whathave I to do with you, O sonsof Zeruiah?Ifhe curses,and ifthe LORDhas toldhim, 'CurseDavid,'then whoshall say,'Whyhave you doneso?'"
For a cupis in the handof the LORD,and the winefoams;It is wellmixed,and He poursout of this;Surelyallthe wickedof the earthmust drain[and] drinkdownits dregs.
You have walkedin the wayof your sister;therefore I will giveher cupinto your hand.'
But Jesusanswered,"You do not knowwhatyou are asking.Are you ableto drinkthe cupthat I am aboutto drink?"They saidto Him, "We are able."
And He wenta littlebeyond[them], and fellon His faceand prayed,saying,"My Father,ifit is possible,let thiscuppassfrom Me; yetnot as I will,but as You will."
He went awayagaina second timeand prayed,saying,"My Father,ifthiscannotpass awayunlessI drinkit, Your willbe done."
"For allthese thingsthe nationsof the worldeagerly seek;but your Fatherknowsthat you needthese things.
saying,"Father,ifYou are willing,removethiscupfrom Me; yetnot My will,but Yoursbe done."
"Ifyou keepMy commandments,you will abidein My love;justas I have keptMy Father'scommandmentsand abidein His love.
"Father,I desirethat they also,whomYou have givenMe, be with Me whereI am,sothat they may seeMy glorywhichYou have givenMe, for You lovedMe beforethe foundationof the world.
Jesusanswered,"My kingdomis not of thisworld.IfMy kingdomwere of thisworld,then My servantswould be fightingsothat I would not be handedover to the Jews;but as it is, My kingdomis not of this realm."
Jesussaidto her, "Stopclingingto Me, for I have not yetascendedto the Father;but goto My brethrenand sayto them, 'I ascendto My Fatherand your Father,and My Godand your God.'"
for the weaponsof our warfareare not of the flesh,but divinelypowerfulfor the destructionof fortresses.
in the wordof truth,in the powerof God;by the weaponsof righteousnessfor the right handand the left,
fixing our eyeson Jesus,the authorand perfecterof faith,whofor the joyset beforeHim enduredthe cross,despisingthe shame,and has sat downat the right handof the throneof God.
