Mark 14:32-52

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³² Then they went to a place called Gethsemane, and He said to His disciples, Sit down here while I pray.

³³ And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be ^[a]struck with terror and amazement and deeply troubled and depressed.

³⁴ And He said to them, My soul is exceedingly sad (overwhelmed with grief) so that it almost kills Me! Remain here and keep awake and be watching.

³⁵ And going a little farther, He fell on the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the [^[b]fatal] hour might pass from Him.

³⁶ And He was saying, Abba, [which means] Father, everything is possible for You. Take away this cup from Me; yet not what I will, but what You [will].

³⁷ And He came back and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? Have you not the strength to keep awake and watch [with Me for] one hour?

³⁸ Keep awake and watch and pray [constantly], that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹ He went away again and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ And again He came back and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what answer to give Him.

⁴¹ And He came back a third time and said to them, Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough [of that]! The hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinful men (men ^[c]whose way or nature is to act in opposition to God).

⁴² Get up, let us be going! See, My betrayer is at hand!

⁴³ And at once, while He was still speaking, Judas came, one of the Twelve [apostles], and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, [who came] from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders [of the Sanhedrin].

⁴⁴ Now the betrayer had given them a signal, saying, The One I shall kiss is [the Man]; seize Him and lead [Him] away safely [so as to prevent His escape].

⁴⁵ And when he came, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, Master! Master! and he ^[d]embraced Him and kissed Him fervently.

⁴⁶ And they threw their hands on Him and arrested Him.

⁴⁷ But one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to them, Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber to capture Me?

⁴⁹ I was with you daily in the temple [^[e]porches and courts] teaching, and you did not seize Me; but [this has happened] that the Scriptures might be fulfilled.

⁵⁰ Then [His disciples], forsaking Him, fled, all [of them].

⁵¹ And a young man was following Him, with nothing but a linen cloth (^[f]sheet) thrown about [his] naked [body]; and they laid hold of him,

⁵² But, leaving behind the linen cloth (^[g]sheet), he fled from them naked.
