Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
36 mThen Jesus went with them eto a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”
37 And taking with him nPeter and othe two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
38 Then he said to them, p“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and qwatch1 with me.”
39 And going a little farther he fell on his face rand prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let sthis cup pass from me; tnevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”
40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?
41 qWatch and upray that you vmay not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, wyour will be done.”
43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for xtheir eyes were heavy.
44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for ythe third time, saying the same words again.
45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.1 See, zthe hour is at hand, and athe Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
