Matius 26:42-44

26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, ¹  “My Father, if this cup ²  cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. ³  26:44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same thing once more.

[26:42]  ¹ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

[26:42]  ² tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

[26:43]  ³ tn Grk “because their eyes were weighed down,” an idiom for becoming extremely or excessively sleepy (L&N 23.69).
