Matthew 26

36 Ref Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray."

37 Ref He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

38 Ref Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here, and watch with me."

39 Ref He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

40 Ref He came to the disciples, and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn't you watch with me for one hour?

41 Ref Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42 Ref Again, a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can't pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."

43 Ref He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44 Ref He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

45 Ref Then he came to his disciples, and said to them, "Sleep on now, and take your rest. Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Ref Arise, let's be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
