14:32 他們來到一個地方，名叫客西馬尼。耶穌對門徒說：「你們坐在這裡，等我禱告。」
14:33 於是帶著彼得、雅各、約翰同去，就驚恐起來，極其難過，
14:34 對他們說：「我心裡甚是憂傷，幾乎要死；你們在這裡等候，警醒。」
14:35 他就稍往前走，俯伏在地，禱告說：「倘若可行，便叫那時候過去。」
14:36 他說：「阿爸！父啊！在你凡事都能；求你將這杯撤去。然而，不要從我的意思，只要從你的意思。」
14:37 耶穌回來，見他們睡著了，就對彼得說：「西門，你睡覺嗎？不能警醒片時嗎？
14:38 總要警醒禱告，免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意，肉體卻軟弱了。」
14:39 耶穌又去禱告，說的話還是與先前一樣，
14:40 又來見他們睡著了，因為他們的眼睛甚是困倦；他們也不知道怎麼回答。
14:41 第三次來，對他們說：「現在你們仍然睡覺安歇吧（吧：或譯嗎？）！夠了，時候到了。看哪，人子被賣在罪人手裡了。
14:42 起來！我們走吧。看哪，那賣我的人近了！」
32 They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,” he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[f] Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”

主耶穌在面對十字架之前，到客西馬尼園禱告！這個禱告是：「阿爸！父啊！在你凡事都能；求你將這杯撤去。然而，不要從我的意思，只要從你的意思。」
這個禱告讓我們明白禱告的真正意義，不是祈求自己所盼望的事情，而是祈求自己能夠順從上帝的心意！因為要順從上帝的心意是多麼的不可能，我們的內心是充滿悖逆的！就連主耶穌有著無罪的神性和人性，都要求從父的心意，更何況我們呢！
而主耶穌也在這裡教導我們：「總要警醒禱告，免得入了迷惑。你們心靈固然願意，肉體卻軟弱了。」
所以，禱告除了讓我們明白上帝的旨意，更讓我們有實行上帝旨意的能力！
