Jesus Prays in Gethsemane (MRK 14:32-42)

[14:32] And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

[14:33] And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.

[14:34] And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”

[14:35] And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

[14:36] And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

[14:37] And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?

[14:38] Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

[14:39] And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

[14:40] And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.

[14:41] And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

[14:42] Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
