 And rising  up,  He  came  to  His  disciples,  and  finding  them asleep, He  said  to  Peter :  “Could  you  not  watch  one  hour  with Me? Watch ye  and  pray,  that  ye  enter  not  into  temptation. The spirit,  indeed,  is  willing,  but  the  flesh  is  weak.”

And going  a second  time,  He  prayed,  saying:  “My  Father, if this  chalice  cannot  pass  away,  except  I drink  it,  Thy  will  be done!”  He  came  back  and  found  His  disciples  sleeping;  and leaving them,  He  went  away  again,  and  prayed  a third  time  in the  same  words  as  before. Then He  fell  into  an  agony,  and  His sweat became as  drops  of  blood,  trickling  down  to  the  ground. And, behold,  an  angel  appeared  to  Him  from  heaven,  strengthening Him.
