12 But Moses' H4872 hands H3027 were heavy; H3515 and they took H3947 a stone, H68 and put H7760 it under him, and he sat H3427 thereon; and Aaron H175 and Hur H2354 stayed up H8551 his hands, H3027 the one on the one side, H259 and the other on the other side; H259 and his hands H3027 were steady H530 until the going down H935 of the sun. H8121
Strengthen H2388 ye the weak H7504 hands, H3027 and confirm H553 the feeble H3782 knees. H1290
For G1063 I know G1492 that G3754 this G5124 shall turn G576 to G1519 my G3427 salvation G4991 through G1223 your G5216 prayer, G1162 and G2532 the supply G2024 of the Spirit G4151 of Jesus G2424 Christ, G5547
And G2532 he cometh G2064 unto G4314 the disciples, G3101 and G2532 findeth G2147 them G846 asleep, G2518 and G2532 saith G3004 unto Peter, G4074 What, G3779 could ye G2480 not G3756 watch G1127 with G3326 me G1700 one G3391 hour? G5610 Watch G1127 and G2532 pray, G4336 that G3363 ye enter G1525 not G3363 into G1519 temptation: G3986 the spirit G4151 indeed G3303 is willing, G4289 but G1161 the flesh G4561 is weak. G772 He went away G565 again G3825 the G1537 second time, G1208 and prayed, G4336 saying, G3004 O my G3450 Father, G3962 if G1487 this G5124 cup G4221 may G1410 not G3756 pass away G3928 from G575 me, G1700 except G3362 I drink G4095 it, G846 thy G4675 will G2307 be done. G1096 And G2532 he came G2064 and found G2147 them G846 asleep G2518 again: G3825 for G1063 their G846 eyes G3788 were G2258 heavy. G916 And G2532 he left G863 them, G846 and went away G565 again, G3825 and prayed G4336 G1537 the third time, G5154 saying G2036 the same G846 words. G3056 Then G5119 cometh he G2064 to G4314 his G846 disciples, G3101 and G2532 saith G3004 unto them, G846 Sleep on G2518 now, G3063 and G2532 take your rest: G373 behold, G2400 the hour G5610 is at hand, G1448 and G2532 the Son G5207 of man G444 is betrayed G3860 into G1519 the hands G5495 of sinners. G268
And G2532 he cometh, G2064 and G2532 findeth G2147 them G846 sleeping, G2518 and G2532 saith G3004 unto Peter, G4074 Simon, G4613 sleepest thou? G2518 couldest G2480 not G3756 thou watch G1127 one G3391 hour? G5610 Watch ye G1127 and G2532 pray, G4336 lest G3363 ye enter G1525 into G1519 temptation. G3986 The spirit G4151 truly G3303 is ready, G4289 but G1161 the flesh G4561 is weak. G772 And G2532 again G3825 he went away, G565 and prayed, G4336 and spake G2036 the same G846 words. G3056 And G2532 when he returned, G5290 he found G2147 them G846 asleep G2518 again, G3825 (for G1063 their G846 eyes G3788 were G2258 heavy,) G916 neither G2532 G3756 wist they G1492 what G5101 to answer G611 him. G846
Praying G4336 always G1722 G2540 G3956 with G1223 all G3956 prayer G4335 and G2532 supplication G1162 in G1722 the Spirit, G4151 and G2532 watching G69 thereunto G1519 G5124 G846 with G1722 all G3956 perseverance G4343 and G2532 supplication G1162 for G4012 all G3956 saints; G40

Chapter 17
Two passages of story are recorded in this chapter,
And these things which happened to them are written for our instruction in our spiritual journey and warfare.
Exd 17:1-7
