In Matthew 26:44, Jesus prayed the same words three times, expressing His deep sorrow and submission to the Father's will.

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus faced the weight of sin and the agony it brought. Matthew 26:44 illustrates this as Jesus prays three times, uttering the same words. His prayer reflects both the depth of His sorrow and His submission to the Father's will as He confronts impending crucifixion. This moment emphasizes the humanity of Christ, as He truly felt the anguish of bearing the sin of all His people, demonstrating the necessity of His sacrifice for redemption.
