The Garden of Gethsemane

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

³⁹ And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let ^(F)this cup pass from Me; ^(G)yet not as I will, but as You will.” ⁴⁰ And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, “So, you men could not ^(H)keep watch with Me for one hour? ^41 (I)Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; ^(J)the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this ^(K)cannot pass away unless I drink it, ^(L)Your will be done.” ⁴³ Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. ⁴⁴ And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. ⁴⁵ Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, “^[a]Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, ^(M)the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴⁶ Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!”

^40 (A)When He arrived at the place, He said to them, “^(B)Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” ⁴¹ And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He ^(C)knelt down and began to pray, ⁴² saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this ^(D)cup from Me; ^(E)yet not My will, but Yours be done.” ^43 [a]Now an ^(F)angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. ⁴⁴ And ^(G)being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground. ⁴⁵ When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow, ⁴⁶ and said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and ^(H)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
