Context — Jesus Prays at Gethsemane

42A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.” 43And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.

45Then He returned to the disciples and said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us go! See, My betrayer is approaching!”

For Your sake, O my God, do not delay, because Your city and Your people bear Your name.”

Matthew 26:44 Summary

In Matthew 26:44, Jesus prays to God the Father for a third time, showing us the importance of persistence and faithfulness in our prayers. Just like Jesus, we can bring our concerns and requests to God, trusting that He hears and cares for us (as seen in Psalm 55:22). Jesus' example teaches us to be sincere and committed in our prayers, even when we don't see immediate answers, and to trust in God's goodness and love (as seen in Romans 8:28). By following Jesus' example, we can deepen our relationship with God and learn to trust in His will for our lives.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did Jesus pray the same thing three times in Matthew 26:44?

Jesus prayed the same thing three times to demonstrate His commitment to the Father's will, as seen in Matthew 26:42, and to show His resolve in fulfilling God's plan, as stated in John 6:38.

What can we learn from Jesus' perseverance in prayer?

We can learn the importance of persistence and faithfulness in our own prayers, just as Jesus modeled in Matthew 26:44, and as taught in Luke 18:1-8, where Jesus encourages believers to pray continually and not lose heart.

How does Jesus' prayer life relate to our own?

Jesus' prayer life, as seen in Matthew 26:44, shows us the value of intimate communication with God, just as He did with the Father, and as encouraged in Philippians 4:6, to bring our requests and concerns to Him in prayer.

What role does repetition play in Jesus' prayer?

The repetition in Jesus' prayer, as seen in Matthew 26:44, emphasizes the sincerity and depth of His commitment to the Father's will, and serves as an example for our own prayers, as seen in Psalm 119:97-100, where the psalmist repeats his love for God's law.

Matthew Poole's Commentary on Matthew 26:44

See Poole on "".

Trapp's Commentary on Matthew 26:44

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Ver. 44. And he left them, and went away again] A most memorable and imitable pattern of patience toward those that condole not, or that keep not touch with us, we must neither startle nor storm, but pass it by as a frailty. And prayed the third time] A number of perfection. And, Si ter pulsanti, &c. Paul prayed thrice, and gave over, 2 Corinthians 12:8-10, because he saw it was God’ s will it should be otherwise: pardoning grace he had, but not prevailing, 2 Corinthians 12:9. So our Saviour here had an angel sent from heaven to strengthen him, that he might the better drink that cup which he had so heartily deprecated, Luke 22:43. Hence the apostle doubts not to say that he "was heard in that he feared," Hebrews 5:7 : he was, and he was not; there is no praying against that which God’ s providence hath disposed of by an infallible order. And when we see how God will have it, we must sit down and be satisfied. That which he will have done, we may be sure is best to be done. Saying the same words] And they were no whit the worse for being the same. Let this comfort those that complain they cannot vary in prayer; though that be a desirable ability. The Corinthians were enriched by God in all utterance and knowledge, 1 Corinthians 1:5. But the business of prayer is more despatched by inward groanings than outward garnishes.

Ellicott's Commentary on Matthew 26:44

(44) Saying the same words.—The fact is suggestive, as indicating that there is a repetition in prayer which indicates not formalism, but intensity of feeling. Lower forms of sorrow may, as it were, play with grief and vary the forms of its expression, but the deepest and sharpest agony is content to fall back upon the iteration of the self-same words.

Adam Clarke's Commentary on Matthew 26:44

Verse 44. Prayed the third time] So St. Paul - I besought the Lord THRICE that it might depart from me, 2 Corinthians 12:8. This thrice repeating the same petition argues deep earnestness of soul.

Cambridge Bible on Matthew 26:44

44. saying the same words] This repetition of earnestness must be distinguished from the vain repetitions of ch. Matthew 6:7.

Whedon's Commentary on Matthew 26:44

44. Saying the same words — Form utters the same words from a want of feeling; earnestness repeats from abundance of feeling.Luke adds: “And being in an agony, he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat
