42 He went away a second time and prayed,[a] “My Father, if this cup[b] cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open.[c] 44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.
