Matthew 26:36-46
Jesus Prays in Gethsemane
36aThen Jesus *came with them to a place called bGethsemane, and *said to His disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37And He took with Him aPeter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed. 38Then He *said to them, “aMy soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and bkeep watch with Me.”
39And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let athis cup pass from Me; byet not as I will, but as You will.” 40And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not akeep watch with Me for one hour? 41“aKeep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; bthe spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this acannot pass away unless I drink it, bYour will be done.” 43And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “1Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, athe hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46“Get up, let us go; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”
