Matthew 26:36-41

New King James Version

The Prayer in the Garden^(A)

^36 (B)Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to the disciples, “Sit here while I go and pray over there.” ³⁷ And He took with Him Peter and ^(C)the two sons of Zebedee, and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed. ³⁸ Then He said to them, ^(D)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with Me.”

³⁹ He went a little farther and fell on His face, and ^(E)prayed, saying, ^(F)“O My Father, if it is possible, ^(G)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, ^(H)not as I will, but as You will.”

⁴⁰ Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? ^41 (I)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. ^(J)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
