Who in the days of his flesh, having offered up prayers and supplications with strong crying and tears unto him that was able to save him from death, and having been heard for his godly fear,

Matthew 26:39-44
And he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

2 Samuel 12 16-2 Samuel 12 18
David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.And the elders of his house arose, and stood beside him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead; for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he hearkened not unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead!

Psalms 77:2-11
In the day of my trouble I sought the Lord: My hand was stretched out in the night, and slacked not; My soul refused to be comforted.I remember God, and am disquieted: I complain, and my spirit is overwhelmed.[ SelahThou holdest mine eyes watching: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.I have considered the days of old, The years of ancient times.I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart; And my spirit maketh diligent search.Will the Lord cast off for ever? And will he be favorable no more?Is his lovingkindness clean gone for ever? Doth his promise fail for evermore?Hath God forgotten to be gracious? Hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies?[ SelahAnd I said, This is my infirmity; But I will remember the years of the right hand of the Most High.I will make mention of the deeds of Jehovah; For I will remember thy wonders of old.

1 Samuel 15 11
It repenteth me that I have set up Saul to be king; for he is turned back from following me, and hath not performed my commandments. And Samuel was wroth; and he cried unto Jehovah all night.

Deuteronomy 3:23-27
And I besought Jehovah at that time, saying,O Lord Jehovah, thou hast begun to show thy servant thy greatness, and thy strong hand: for what god is there in heaven or in earth, that can do according to thy works, and according to thy mighty acts?Let me go over, I pray thee, and see the good land that is beyond the Jordan, that goodly mountain, and Lebanon.But Jehovah was wroth with me for your sakes, and hearkened not unto me; and Jehovah said unto me, Let it suffice thee; speak no more unto me of this matter.Get thee up unto the top of Pisgah, and lift up thine eyes westward, and northward, and southward, and eastward, and behold with thine eyes: for thou shalt not go over this Jordan.

Matthew 20:21-22
And he said unto her, What wouldest thou? She saith unto him, Command that these my two sons may sit, one on thy right hand, and one on thy left hand, in thy kingdom.But Jesus answered and said, Ye know not what ye ask. Are ye able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They say unto him, We are able.
