What were the words of Jesus' second prayer?
The article examines two Gospel accounts of Jesus' second prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane. Matthew gives precise wording, while Mark summarises the essence of the prayer. The two versions illustrate a single, complementary fundamental message about Jesus' willingness to follow God's will.
Mark 14.33-36 (King James Version) :And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt.King James Version (1769), domaine public — texte : eBible.org
