Mijn Vader, indien het mogelijk is,
laat deze kelk aan mij voorbij gaan.
De geest is wel gewillig
Maar het vlees is zwak
B) Uw wil geschiede
C) Waakt en bidt, dat gij niet in bekoring komt.
B) Uw wil geschiede

On the Mount of Olives he prayed to his Father:
"Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
Let your will be done.
Nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will,
Let your will be done."
