¹² For this is what the Lord says: “If those who do not deserve to drink the cup must drink it, can you possibly remain unpunished? You will not remain unpunished, for you must drink it too.

²² Jesus answered, “You don’t know what you’re asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink?”^[a](A)

“We are able,” they said to him.

³⁹ Going a little farther,^[a] he fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”^(A)

⁴² Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this^[a] cannot pass^[b] unless I drink it, your will be done.”^(A)

³⁶ And he said, “Abba,^[a] Father!^(A) All things are possible^(B) for you. Take this cup^(C) away from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will.”

⁴² “Father, if you are willing, take this cup^(A) away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
