Mark:14:32-42

*
They went to a place which was called Gethsemane ;
and he said to his disciples , »
Sit here ,
while I pray .«
*
And he took Peter ,
James and John with him ,
and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled .
*
And he said to them , »
My soul is very sorrowful ,
even to death ;
stay here ,
and watch .«
*
And going a little farther ,
he fell on the ground and prayed that ,
if it were possible ,
the hour might pass from him .
*
And he said , »
Abba ,
Father ,
all things are possible for you .
Take this cup away from me ;
yet not what I will ,
but what you will .«
*
Then he came and found them sleeping ,
and he said to Peter , »
Simon ,
are you asleep ?
Could you not watch one hour ?
*
Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation .
The spirit indeed is willing ,
but the flesh is weak .«
*
And again he went away and prayed ,
saying the same words .
*
And when he came again ,
he found them sleeping ,
for their eyes were heavy ;
and they did not know what to answer him .
*
Then he came the third time and said to them , »
Are you still sleeping and resting ?
It is enough !
The hour has come ;
behold ,
the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners .
*
Rise ,
let us go ;
see ,
my betrayer is at hand .«
