Matthew 26:36-46

Revised Geneva Translation

³⁶ Then Jesus went with them into a place called Gethsemane, and said to His disciples, “Sit here, while I go and pray over there.”

³⁷ And He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him; and began to be sorrowful, and greatly distressed.

³⁸ Then Jesus said to them, “My soul is very heavy, even to the death. Wait here, and watch with Me.”

³⁹ So He went a little further, and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father. If it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

⁴⁰ Afterward, He came to the disciples, and found them asleep, and said to Peter, “What?! Could you not watch with Me one hour?!

⁴¹ “Watch, and pray, so that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed ready, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² Again He went away a second time, and prayed, saying, “O, My Father! 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, and went away again, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

⁴⁵ Then He came to His disciples and said to them, “Still sleeping, and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is at hand. And the Son of Man is given into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ “Rise. Let us go. Behold, the one who betrays Me is here.”
