36

Then comes Jesus with them to a place named Gethsemane, and says to his disciples, Be seated here, while I go over there for prayer.

37

And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and became sad and very troubled.

38

Then says he to them, My soul is very sad, even to death: keep watch with me here.

39

And he went forward a little, and falling down on his face in prayer, he said, O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup go from me but let not my pleasure, but yours be done.

40

And he comes to the disciples, and sees that they are sleeping, and says to Peter, What, were you not able to keep watch with me one hour?

41

Keep watch with prayer, so that you may not be put to the test: the spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is feeble.

42

Again, a second time he went away, and said in prayer, O my Father, if this may not go from me without my taking it, let your pleasure be done.

43

And he came again and saw them sleeping, for their eyes were tired.

44

And he went away from them again, and a third time said the same prayer.

45

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Go on sleeping now, and take your rest: for the hour is come, and the Son of man is given into the hands of evil men.

46

Up, let us be going: see, he who gives me up is near.
