The Prayer in the Garden(A)

32 (B)Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And He (C)took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34 Then He said to them, (D)“My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”

35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36 And He said, (E)“Abba, Father, (F)all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; (G)nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.

37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour? 38 (H)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (I)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39 Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.

35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour(D) might pass from him. 36 “Abba,[a] Father,”(E) he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup(F) from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”(G)

37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(H) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”(I)

39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing.

31 Then Jesus said to them, (H)“All of you will (I)be [c]made to stumble because of Me this night, for it is written:

(J)‘I will strike the Shepherd,
And the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’

32 But after I have been raised, (K)I will go before you to Galilee.”

33 Peter answered and said to Him, “Even if all are [d]made to stumble because of You, I will never be made to stumble.”

34 Jesus said to him, (L)“Assuredly, I say to you that this night, before the rooster crows, you will deny Me three times.”

35 Peter said to Him, “Even if I have to die with You, I will not deny You!”

And so said all the disciples.

39 He went a little farther and fell on His face, and (Q)prayed, saying, (R)“O My Father, if it is possible, (S)let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, (T)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 (U)Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (V)The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying, “O My Father, [e]if this cup cannot pass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43 And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

44 So He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

31 Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me,(F) for it is written:

    and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’[b](G)

32 But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.”(H)

34 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.”(I)

35 But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you,(J) I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same.

Gethsemane(K)

36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee(L) along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow(M) to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”(N)

39 Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup(O) be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”(P)

40 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me(Q) for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation.(R) The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”(S)

43 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. 44 So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
