Mark 14:32-42 ▼

32 Then they came to a place called Gethsemane (olive press), and Jesus told His disciples (pupils), “Sit here while I pray.

33 He took with Him Peter (rock), James (supplanter / follower), and John (YHWH is gracious), and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.

34 Then He said to them, “My soul {psychē} is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.

35 Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.

36 “Abba, Father {Patēr}, He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.

37 Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon (hearing), are you asleep? He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38 Watch and pray so that you⁺ will not enter into temptation. For the spirit {pneuma} is willing, but the body (flesh) is weak.

39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41 When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you⁺ still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look (Behold), the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Rise, let us go. See (Behold), My betrayer is approaching!
