36 Then comes Jesus with them into the place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here, till I, having gone, shall pray. 37 And having taken Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved, and to be dejected. 38 Then says he to them, My soul is sorely grieved, even to death: remain here, and watch ye with me. 39 And having gone forward a little, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying, My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: but not as I will, but as thou. 40 And he comes to his disciples, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, So were ye not able to watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, lest ye come into temptation: truly the spirit of a ready will, and the flesh weak. 42 Again of a second time, having gone away, he prayed, saying, My Father if this cup cannot pass away from me except I drink it, let thy will be. 43 And having gone he finds them again sleeping: for their eyes were loaded. 44 And having left them, having gone away again, he prayed of the third time, speaking the same word. 45 Then comes he to his disciples, and says to them, Sleep for the remaining time, and take rest: behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man is delivered into the hands of the sinful. 46 Be aroused, let us lead forth; behold, he delivering me up, has drawn near.
