What if there are fifty decent people left in the city; will you lump the good with the bad and get rid of the lot? Wouldn’t you spare the city for the sake of those fifty innocents? …
He wouldn’t quit, “Don’t get angry, Master—this is the last time. What if you only come up with ten?”
God said, “For the sake of only ten, I won’t destroy the city.”(Genesis 18:23-24, 32, MSG)

Jesus knelt down and prayed, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground. (Luke 22:41-44, NIV)
