Mark 14:32-36

J.B. Phillips New Testament

The last desperate prayer in Gethsemane

³² Then they arrived at a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to the disciples, “Sit down here while I pray.”

³³ He took with him Peter, James and John, and began to be horror-stricken and desperately depressed.

³⁴ “My heart is nearly breaking,” he told them. “Stay here and keep watch for me.”

³⁵ Then he walked forward a little way and flung himself on the ground, praying that, if it were possible, he might not have to face the ordeal.

³⁶ “Dear Father,” he said, “all things are possible to you. Please—let me not have to drink this cup! Yet it is not what I want but what you want.”
