38. Hapo akawaambia, “Nina huzuni kubwa moyoni hata karibu kufa. Kaeni hapa mkeshe pamoja nami.”
39. Basi, akaenda mbele kidogo, akaanguka kifudifudi, akasali: “Baba yangu, kama inawezekana, kikombe hiki kinipite; lakini isiwe nitakavyo mimi, ila utakavyo wewe.”
40. Akawaendea wale wanafunzi, akawakuta wamelala. Akamwambia Petro, “Ndio kusema hamkuweza kukesha pamoja nami hata saa moja?
41. Kesheni na kusali ili msije mkaingia katika majaribu. Roho inataka lakini mwili ni dhaifu.”
42. Akaenda tena mara ya pili akasali: “Baba yangu, kama haiwezekani kikombe hiki kipite bila mimi kukinywa, basi, utakalo lifanyike.”
43. Akawaendea tena, akawakuta wamelala, maana macho yao yalikuwa yamebanwa na usingizi.
44. Basi, akawaacha, akaenda tena kusali mara ya tatu kwa maneno yaleyale.
