2 CORINTHIANS 12:8 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might depart from me.”
Three times I pleaded with the Lord to take it away from me — Paul *trís*, three times, *deésis*, pleaded (*parakaléō*) the *kyrios*, the Lord, for *aphistemi*, removal. *Persistence in prayer* mirrors his *resistance* to false apostles. Yet *three* times brings to mind *Christ's Gethsemane prayer* — *submission to divine will*.
