Revised Common Lectionary (Semicontinuous)

³⁹ Then Jesus went out of the room and went to the hill called the Mount of Olives where he often went. His disciples went with him.

⁴⁰ He said to them, `Talk with God so that you will not do wrong.'

⁴¹ He went away from them about as far as a person can throw a stone. Then he kneeled down to talk with God.

⁴² He said, `Father, if you will, take this cup away from me. But do not do what I want but what you want.'

⁴³ Then an angel came to him from heaven and helped to make him strong.

⁴⁴ His heart was troubled very much. So he talked with God more than before. His sweat was like big drops of blood falling on the ground.

⁴⁵ He stopped talking with God and got up. He went to his disciples and found them sleeping because they were sad.

⁴⁶ He said to them, `Why are you sleeping? Get up. Talk with God so that you will not do wrong.'
