Once more he went away and prayed the same thing — the three Gethsemane prayers are the structural triple of the passion night: three prayers in the garden, three denials in the courtyard, three hours of darkness on the cross. The same thing: the prayer of submission is not varied or elaborated — it is the same prayer, offered three times, each time with the same response from the disciples and the same answer from the Father.
