40.41. And he cometh to the Disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
40. 41. Note, Christ was to have no support from man, in his Sufferings. 2. Sleeping, when we should Watch and Pray is a fault, but such a one as may stand with Grace. 3. Watching and Praying is Gods means appointed to save men from, and in Temptation. 4. The spirit of the Faithful is willing to do more good than they are able. 5. The Flesh in Faithful Men, may prevail against the Spirit in sins of natural infirmity, for a time, though not in gross Sins, in the design and bent of heart and life. 6. Christ tenderly excuseth his Servants infirmities.
42. He went again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.
42. I resign my will to submit to thine, and I desire to fulfil it, for which, I came in Flesh.
