Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

^36 (A)Then Jesus went with them ^(B)to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”

³⁷ And taking with him ^(A)Peter and ^(B)the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

³⁸ Then he said to them, ^(A)“My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and ^(B)watch^[a] with me.”

³⁹ And going a little farther he fell on his face ^(A)and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let ^(B)this cup pass from me; ^(C)nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”

⁴⁰ And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?

^41 (A)Watch and ^(B)pray that you ^(C)may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, ^(A)your will be done.”

⁴³ And again he came and found them sleeping, for ^(A)their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for ^(A)the third time, saying the same words again.

⁴⁵ Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on.^[a] See, ^(A)the hour is at hand, and ^(B)the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
