BIBLE QUOTE
Mark 14 v 32-42
Gethsemane
32They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. 34"My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."
35Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. 36"Abba,[e] Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."
37Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. "Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? 38Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
39Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. 40When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41Returning the third time, he said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
LOL, the first reply stole my thunder so to speak.

That's an interesting observation but my initial thought is that the Bible was written by man whose hand was influenced and guided by God. In that way a full and accurate account can be passed down as the living word.

If you read the scriptures its clear that When Jesus was praying that The disciples were sleeping. The first poster got the best answer. But end the end I don't think that the disciples witness the prayer. There for without the will of God I doubt that the prayer should be in the bible.
