saying,"Father,ifYou are willing,removethiscupfrom Me; yetnot My will,but Yoursbe done."
He went awayagaina second timeand prayed,saying,"My Father,ifthiscannotpass awayunlessI drinkit, Your willbe done."

And He was saying,"Abba!Father!All thingsare possiblefor You; removethiscupfrom Me; yetnot whatI will,but whatYou will."
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."
In the same waythe Spiritalsohelpsour weakness;for we do not knowhowto prayas we should,but the SpiritHimselfintercedesfor [us] with groaningstoo deep for words;
Thussaysyour Lord,the LORD,even your GodWho contendsfor His people,"Behold,I have takenout of your handthe cupof reeling,The chaliceof My anger;You will neverdrinkit again.
You askand do not receive,becauseyou askwith wrong motives,sothat you may spend[it] on your pleasures.
"But I havea baptismto undergo,and howdistressedI am untilit is accomplished!
For thussaysthe LORD,"Behold,those whowere not sentencedto drinkthe cupwill certainlydrink[it], and are you the onewho will be completelyacquitted?You will not be acquitted,but you will certainlydrink[it].
"But allthishas taken placeto fulfillthe Scripturesof the prophets."Thenallthe disciplesleftHim and fled.
Pride[goes] beforedestruction,And a haughtyspiritbeforestumbling.
"The earthand allwho dwellin it melt;It is I who have firmlysetits pillars.Selah.
Petersaidto Him, "Even ifI haveto diewith You, I will not denyYou." Allthe disciplessaidthe same thingtoo.
