* Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane , and said to the disciples , "Sit here while I go and pray over there ." * And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee , and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed . * Then He said to them , "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful , even to death . Stay here and watch with Me ." * He went a little farther and fell on His face , and prayed , saying , "O My Father , if it is possible , let this cup pass from Me ; nevertheless , not as I will , but as You will ." * Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping , and said to Peter , "What ! Could you not watch with Me one hour ? * Watch and pray , lest you enter into temptation . The spirit indeed is willing , but the flesh is weak ." * Again , a second time , He went away and prayed , saying , "O My Father , if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it , Your will be done ." * And He came and found them asleep again , for their eyes were heavy . * So He left them , went away again , and prayed the third time , saying the same words . * Then He came to His disciples and said to them , "Are you still sleeping and resting ? Behold , the hour is at hand , and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners . * Rise , let us be going . See , My betrayer is at hand ."
