Mark 14:34-36

Expanded Bible

³⁴ He said to them, “My ·heart [soul] is ·full of sorrow [overwhelmed with grief], to the point of death. Stay here and ·watch [stay awake; be alert].”

³⁵ After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell [with his face] to the ground and prayed that, if possible, ·he would not have this time of suffering [^Lthe hour might pass him by]. ³⁶ He prayed, “Abba [^CAramaic for “father”], Father! You can do all things. ·Take away this cup of suffering [^LTake this cup from me; ^Csuffering is metaphorically portrayed as something bitter to drink; see 10:38]. But do ·what you want [your will], not ·what I want [my will].”
