## Matthew 26:41 in Context (Verses 38–44 KJV)
 
 [38 ](/kjv/matthew/26/38) Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.
 
 [39 ](/kjv/matthew/26/39) And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou *wilt*.
 
 [40 ](/kjv/matthew/26/40) And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
 
 [41 ](/kjv/matthew/26/41) Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed *is* willing, but the flesh *is* weak.
 
 [42 ](/kjv/matthew/26/42) He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
 
 [43 ](/kjv/matthew/26/43) And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
 
 [44 ](/kjv/matthew/26/44) And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
