Read in context

Matthew 26:37–41 · Berean Standard Bible

37 He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

38 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39 Going a little farther, 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.”

40 Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.

41 “Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
