*
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 ."
