* Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane , and said to his disciples , "Sit down here , while I go and pray yonder ." * And he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him , and began to be in anguish and sore distress , * and he said to them . "My soul is an anguish , even unto death ! Stay here , and keep watch with me ." * Then he went forward a short distance , and fell on his face and prayed . "O , my Father , if it be possible , let this cup pass from me ; nevertheless , not as I will , but as thou wit ." * Then he came to his disciples , and found them asleep , and said to Peter . "So you were none of you strong enough to watch with me even one hour ! * "Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation . The spirit indeed is willing , but the flesh is weak ." * Then he went away again a second time and prayed , saying , "O , my Father , if this cup cannot pass except I drink it , Thy will be done ." * He came again and found them sleeping , for their eyes were heavy . * So he left them and went away again , and prayed the third time in the same words as before . * Then he came to the disciples and said . "Sleep on now , and take your rest . Look ! the hour is at hand ; the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of wicked men . * "Rouse yourselves ! Let us go . My betrayer is close at hand !"
