Jeremiah 45

English Standard Version

Message to Baruch

45 The word that Jeremiah the prophet spoke to ^(A)Baruch the son of Neriah, ^(B)when he wrote these words in a book at the dictation of Jeremiah, ^(C)in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: ²“Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: ³You said, ^(D)‘Woe is me! For the Lord has added sorrow to my pain. ^(E)I am weary with my groaning, ^(F)and I find no rest.’ ⁴Thus shall you say to him, Thus says the Lord: ^(G)Behold, what I have built I am breaking down, and what I have planted I am plucking up—that is, the whole land. ⁵And ^(H)do you seek great things for yourself? Seek them not, for behold, ^(I)I am bringing disaster upon all flesh, declares the Lord. But I will give you ^(J)your life as a prize of war in all places to which you may go.”

Mark 14:32-42

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

³²^(A)And they went ^(B)to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³And he took with him ^(C)Peter and James and John, and began ^(D)to be greatly distressed and troubled. ³⁴And he said to them, ^(E)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and ^(F)watch.”^[a] ³⁵And going a little farther, he fell on the ground ^(G)and prayed that, if it were possible, ^(H)the hour might pass from him. ³⁶And he said, ^(I)“Abba, Father, ^(J)all things are possible for you. Remove ^(K)this cup from me. ^(L)Yet not what I will, but what you will.” ³⁷And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? ³⁸^(M)Watch and ^(N)pray that you may not ^(O)enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” ³⁹And again he went away and prayed, ^(P)saying the same words. ⁴⁰And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(Q)their eyes were very heavy, and ^(R)they did not know what to answer him. ⁴¹And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? ^(S)It is enough; ^(T)the hour has come. ^(U)The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴²Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
