Matthew 26:37-39

EasyEnglish Bible

³⁷ Then Jesus took Peter and Zebedee's two sons, James and John, with him. He became very sad and upset. ³⁸ He said to them, ‘I am very sad. I feel as if I could die because I feel so sad. Wait here with me and stay awake.’

³⁹ Jesus went a short way beyond them. He went down with his face on the ground. He prayed, ‘Father, if it is possible, please save me from this time of great pain. But Father, I do not ask you to do what I want. Do what you want to do.’
