Matthew 26:39

Made Simple — Modern English Translation

Translated by Verse Made Simple Editorial
KJV ORIGINAL
And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
Close to the original. Clear modern English.
✦ MADE SIMPLE

He walked a bit further, then collapsed face-first on the ground and prayed: 'Dad, if there's any other way to do this, please let me out of what's coming. But honestly... not what I want, what you want.'

⚡ THE BOTTOM LINE

Even Jesus had moments of 'I don't want to do this' — but he trusted his Father's plan anyway.
