36 Y decía: Abba, Padre, todas las cosas son á ti posibles; traspasa de mí este vaso; empero no lo que yo quiero, sino lo que tú.

37 Y vino y los halló durmiendo; y dice á Pedro: ¿Simón, duermes? ¿No has podido velar una hora?

38 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad es presto, mas la carne enferma.

39 Y volviéndose á ir, oró, y dijo las mismas palabras.

40 Y vuelto, los halló otra vez durmiendo, porque los ojos de ellos estaban cargados; y no sabían qué responderle.
