Zebedee, he began to be
sorrowful, and to be troubled. (38)Then says he to them: My soul is
exceedingly sorrowful, unto death. Tarry ye here, and watch with me.

(39)And going forward a little, he fell on his face, praying, and
saying: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me.
But yet, not as I will, but as thou wilt. (40)And he comes to the
disciples, and finds them sleeping; and he says to Peter: Were ye so
unable to watch with me one hour? (41)Watch and pray, that ye enter
not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is
weak.

(42)Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, saying: My Father,
if this can not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be
done. (43)And coming he again found them sleeping; for their eyes were
