Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

³⁶ Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”³⁷And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.³⁸Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.”³⁹And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”⁴⁰And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?⁴¹ Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”⁴²Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”⁴³And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.⁴⁴So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.⁴⁵Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.⁴⁶Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
