:37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
:38 Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

:39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

:40 Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour?

:34 quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, became valiant in battle, turned to flight the armies of the aliens.

Ps 6:1 O Lord, do not rebuke me in Your anger, nor chasten me in Your hot displeasure.
