Luke 22:39-42 Part 1 of 2

Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives. There he told them, "Pray that you will not give in to temptation." He walked away, about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed," Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine."

(see Mark 14:32-34)

Matthew 26:40-41  Then he returned to the disciples and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Couldn't you watch with me even one hour? Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak." (see also Mark 14:37-38)
