Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane
Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane on Mount Olivet
Mark 14:32-42
They came to a place which was named Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray. 33 He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed. 34 He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch. 35 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 He said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire, but what you desire. 37 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, Simon, are you sleeping? Couldnt you watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 40 Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they didnt know what to answer him. 41 He came the third time, and said to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.
