(1) Mark 14:32-42 = Matt 26:36-46 = Luke 22:39-46
14:32 They went to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 14:33 He took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be distressed and agitated. 14:34 And said to them, "I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake." 14:35 And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. 14:36 He said, "Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want." 14:37 He came and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not keep awake one hour? 14:38 Keep awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 14:39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words. 14:40 And once more he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to say to him. 14:41 He came a third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough! The hour has come; the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 14:42 Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand."
= Matt 26:36-46
26:36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I go over there and pray." 26:37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and agitated. 26:38 Then he said to them, "I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and stay awake with me." 26:39 And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; yet not what I want but what you want." 26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, "So, could you not stay awake with me one hour? 26:41 Stay awake and pray that you may not come into the time of trial; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 26:42 Again he went away for the second time and prayed, "My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done." 26:43 Again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 26:44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words. 26:45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 26:46 Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand."= Luke 22:39-46
22:39 He came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed him. 22:40 When he reached the place, he said to them, "Pray that you may not come into the time of trial." 22:41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and prayed, 22:42 "Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; yet, not my will but yours be done." 22:43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 22:44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground. 22:45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief, 22:46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
(1b) John 12:27
12:27 "Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say--' Father, save me from this hour'? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. 12:28 Father, glorify your name." Then a voice came from heaven, "I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again." 12:29 The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, "An angel has spoken to him." 12:30 Jesus answered, "This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. 12:31 Now is the judgment of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. 12:32 And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself." 12:33 He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die.
(2a) Luke 11:4c = Matt 6:13a
11:4 And forgive us our sins, for we ourselves forgive everyone indebted to us. And do not bring us to the time of trial."
= Matt 6:13a
6:13 And do not bring us to the time of trial, but rescue us from the evil one.
(2b) PolPhil 7:2b
"For whosoever does not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh, is antichrist;" and whosoever does not confess the testimony of the cross, is of the devil; and whosoever perverts the oracles of the Lord to his own lusts, and says that there is neither a resurrection nor a judgment, he is the first-born of Satan. Wherefore, forsaking the vanity of many, and their false doctrines, let us return to the word which has been handed down to us from the beginning; "watching unto prayer," and persevering in fasting; beseeching in our supplications the all-seeing God "not to lead us into temptation," as the Lord has said: "The spirit truly is willing, but the flesh is weak." [ANF]
(3) ApJas 4:1b
Ch. 4 1 And I responded, "Lord, we can obey you if you wish, for we have forsaken our fathers and our mothers and our villages and have followed you. 2 Give us the means, [then], not to be tempted by the evil devil."
3 The Lord replied, "If you do the Father's will, what credit is that to you---unless he gives you, as part of his gift, your being tempted by Satan? 4 But if you are oppressed by Satan, and are persecuted, and you do his will, I [say] that he will love you, and will make you equal with me, and will regard [you] as having become [beloved] through his providence according to your own choice. 5 So won't you cease being lovers of the flesh and afraid of suffering? 6 Or don't you realize that you have not yet been abused and have not yet been accused unjustly, nor have you yet been locked up in prison, nor have you yet been condemned unlawfully, nor have you yet been crucified <without> reason, nor have you yet been buried in the sand, as I myself was, by the evil one? 7 Do you dare to spare the flesh, you for whom the spirit acts as an encircling wall? 8 If you think about the world, about how long it existed <before> you and how long it will exist after you, you will discover that your life is but a single day, and your sufferings but a single hour. 9 Accordingly, since what is good will not enter this world, 10 you should scorn death and be concerned about life. 11 Remember my cross and my death, and you will live!" [Complete Gospels]
(4) Jas 1:12-14
1:12 Blessed is anyone who endures temptation. Such a one has stood the test and will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him. 1:13 No one, when tempted, should say, "I am being tempted by God"; for God cannot be tempted by evil and he himself tempts no one. 1:14 But one is tempted by one's own desire, being lured and enticed by it;
