Matthew 26:36-46 ▼

36 Then cometh Jesus with them into a place called Gethsemane, and saith to the disciples, "Sit ye here, while I, going yonder, pray."

37 And, taking with Him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be grieved and to be in distress.

38 Then saith He to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful even unto death! Abide ye here, and watch with Me."

39 And, going forward a little, He fell on His face, praying, and saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt ."

40 And He cometh to the disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and saith to Peter, "Were ye thus unable to watch with Me one hour?

41 Watch, and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit, indeed, is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42 Again, a second time, going away, He prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is not possible that this cup should pass away except I drink it , Thy will be done,"

43 And, coming again, He found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavy.

44 And, leaving them, going away again, He prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

45 Then He cometh to the disciples, and saith to them, "Sleep on the remaining time, and take your rest. Behold the hour has drawn near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who is betraying Me is at hand."
