【释义】：

心有余而力不足；(喻)力不从心

And he (Jesus) cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, 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.

Matt.26:40-41

(耶稣)来到门徒那里，见他们睡著了，就对彼得说：“怎么样，你们不能同我警醒片时吗?

总要警醒祷告，免得陷入迷惑。你们心灵固然愿意，肉体却软弱了”

《马太福音》26∶40－41］
