Submission Versus Sleeping

Matthew 26:42-46

He went away a second time and prayed, 'My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.' When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, 'Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!' (NIVUK)

Jesus was praying in the Garden of Gethsemane in the final hour before His arrest. Peter, James and John were close by, and the other disciples were a little further away probably at the gate to the garden. In Jesus' first prayer He asked, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will" (Matthew 26:39). Now, the second time He prays, "My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done."
