Matthew:26:36-46
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then comes Jesus with them to a place called Gethsemane ,
and said to the disciples ,
Sit you here ,
while I go and pray yonder .
*
And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee ,
and began to be sorrowful and very heavy .
*
Then said he to them ,
My soul is exceeding sorrowful ,
even to death :
tarry you here ,
and watch with me .
*
And he went a little farther ,
and fell on his face ,
and prayed ,
saying ,
O my Father ,
if it be possible ,
let this cup pass from me :
nevertheless not as I will ,
but as you will .
*
And he comes to the disciples ,
and finds them asleep ,
and said to Peter ,
What ,
could you not watch with me one hour ?
*
Watch and pray ,
that you enter not into temptation :
the spirit indeed is willing ,
but the flesh is weak .
*
He went away again the second time ,
and prayed ,
saying ,
O my Father ,
if this cup may not pass away from me ,
except I drink it ,
your will be done .
*
And he came and found them asleep again :
for their eyes were heavy .
*
And he left them ,
and went away again ,
and prayed the third time ,
saying the same words .
*
Then comes he to his disciples ,
and said to them ,
Sleep on now ,
and take your rest :
behold ,
the hour is at hand ,
and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners .
*
Rise ,
let us be going :
behold ,
he is at hand that does betray me .
