Matthew 26:36-46
Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them,“ Sit here while I go over there and pray.”He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him. He began to be sad and troubled.Then he said to them,“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with me.”He went a little farther. Then he fell with his face to the ground. He prayed,“ My Father, if it is possible, take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter.“ Watch and pray. Then you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”Jesus went away a second time. He prayed,“ My Father, is it possible for this cup to be taken away? But if I must drink it, may what you want be done.”Then he came back. Again he found them sleeping. They couldn’t keep their eyes open.So he left them and went away once more. For the third time he prayed the same thing.Then he returned to the disciples. He said to them,“ Are you still sleeping and resting? Look! The hour has come. The Son of Man is about to be handed over to sinners.Get up! Let us go! Here comes the one who is handing me over to them!”

Jesus and his disciples went to a place called Gethsemane. Jesus said to them,“ Sit here while I pray.”He took Peter, James and John along with him. He began to be very upset and troubled.“ My soul is very sad. I feel close to death,” he said to them.“ Stay here. Keep watch.”He went a little farther. Then he fell to the ground. He prayed that, if possible, the hour might pass by him.“ Abba, Father,” he said,“ everything is possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. But let what you want be done, not what I want.”Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.“ Simon,” he said to Peter,“ are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?Watch and pray. Then you won’t fall into sin when you are tempted. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”Once more Jesus went away and prayed the same thing.Then he came back. Again he found them sleeping. They couldn’t keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to him.Jesus returned the third time. He said to them,“ Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look! The Son of Man is about to be handed over to sinners.Get up! Let us go! Here comes the one who is handing me over to them!”

2 Corinthians 12 7-2 Corinthians 12 10
God has shown me amazing and wonderful things. People should not think more of me because of it. So I wouldn’t become proud of myself, I was given a problem. This problem caused pain in my body. It is a messenger from Satan to make me suffer.Three times I begged the Lord to take it away from me.But he said to me,“ My grace is all you need. My power is strongest when you are weak.” So I am very happy to brag about how weak I am. Then Christ’s power can rest on me.Because of how I suffered for Christ, I’m glad that I am weak. I am glad in hard times. I am glad when people say mean things about me. I am glad when things are difficult. And I am glad when people make me suffer. When I am weak, I am strong.
