Matthew 26:36-56

36ThenG5119 JesusG2424 wentG2064 withG3326 His disciples toG1519 a placeG5564 calledG3004 GethsemaneG1068, andG2532 He toldG3004 them, “SitG2523 hereG847 whileG2193G3739 I goG565 over thereG1563 and prayG4336.”

37

He took with HimG3880 PeterG4074 andG2532 theG3588 twoG1417 sonsG5207 of ZebedeeG2199 and beganG756 to be sorrowfulG3076 andG2532 deeply distressedG85. 38ThenG5119 He saidG3004 to themG846, “MyG1473 soulG5590 isG1510 consumed with sorrowG4036 to the pointG2193 of deathG2288. StayG3306 hereG5602 andG2532 keep watchG1127 withG3326 MeG1473.”

39

GoingG4281 a little fartherG3398, He fellG4098 facedownG1909G846G4383 and prayedG4336, “MyG1473 FatherG3962, ifG1487 it isG1510 possibleG1415, let thisG3778 cupG4221 passG3928 fromG575 MeG1473. YetG4133 notG3756 asG5613 IG1473 willG2309, butG235 asG5613 YouG4771 will.”

40ThenG2532 Jesus returnedG2064 toG4314 theG3588 disciplesG3101 andG2532 foundG2147 themG846 sleepingG2518. “Were you not ableG3756G2480 to keep watchG1127 withG3326 MeG1473 for oneG1520 hourG5610?” He askedG3004 PeterG4074. 41“WatchG1127 andG2532 prayG4336 so thatG2443 you will not enterG3361G1525 intoG1519 temptationG3986. ForG3303 theG3588 spiritG4151 is willingG4289, butG1161 theG3588 bodyG4561 is weakG772.”

42A second timeG3825G1537G1208 He went awayG565 and prayedG4336, “MyG1473 FatherG3962, ifG1487 thisG3778 cup cannotG3756G1410 passG3928 unlessG1437G3361 I drinkG4095 itG846, may YourG4771 willG2307 be doneG1096.” 43AndG2532 againG3825 Jesus returnedG2064 and foundG2147 themG846 sleepingG2518, forG1063 theirG846 eyesG3788 wereG1510 heavyG916.

44SoG2532 He leftG863 themG846 and went awayG565 once moreG3825 and prayedG4336 a third timeG5154, sayingG2036 theG3588 sameG846 thingG3056. 45ThenG5119 He returnedG2064 toG4314 theG3588 disciplesG3101 andG2532 saidG3004, “Are you still sleepingG2518G3588G3063 andG2532 restingG373? LookG2400, theG3588 hourG5610 is nearG1448, andG2532 theG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 is betrayedG3860 intoG1519 the handsG5495 of sinnersG268. 46RiseG1453, let us goG71! SeeG2400, MyG1473 betrayerG3860 is approachingG1448!”

47WhileG2532 Jesus was still speakingG2089G2980, JudasG2455, oneG1520 of theG3588 TwelveG1427, arrivedG2064, accompanied byG3326G846 a largeG4183 crowdG3793 armed withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 clubsG3586, sent fromG575 theG3588 chief priestsG749 andG2532 eldersG4245 of theG3588 peopleG2992.

48NowG1161 theG3588 betrayerG3860G846 had arrangedG1325 a signalG4592 with themG846: “The OneG3739 I kissG5368 isG1510 the man; arrestG2902 HimG846.” 49GoingG4334 directlyG2112 to JesusG2424, he saidG2036, “GreetingsG5463, RabbiG4461!” andG2532 kissedG2705 HimG846.

50“FriendG2083,” JesusG2424 repliedG2036, “do whatG3739 you cameG3918 forG1909.”1

ThenG5119 the men stepped forwardG4334, seizedG1911G3588G5495G1909 JesusG2424, andG2532 arrestedG2902 HimG846. 51At thisG2532G2400, oneG1520 ofG3588 JesusG2424’ companionsG3326 drewG1614G3588G5495G645 hisG846 swordG3162 andG2532 struckG3960 theG3588 servantG1401 of theG3588 high priestG749, cutting offG851 hisG846 earG5621.

52“PutG654 yourG4771 swordG3162 back inG1519 itsG846 placeG5117,” JesusG2424 saidG3004 to himG3588. “ForG1063 allG3956 whoG3588 drawG2983 the swordG3162 will dieG622 byG1722 the swordG3162. 53Are you not awareG3756G1380 thatG3754 I canG1410 call onG3870 MyG1473 FatherG3962, andG2532 He will at once put at My disposalG3936G737G1473 more thanG4119 twelveG1427 legionsG3003 of angelsG32? 54But howG4459 thenG3767 would theG3588 ScripturesG1124 be fulfilledG4137 that sayG3754 it mustG1163 happenG1096 this wayG3779?”

55AtG1722 thatG1565 timeG5610 JesusG2424 saidG2036 to theG3588 crowdG3793, “Have you come outG1831 withG3326 swordsG3162 andG2532 clubsG3586 to arrestG4815 MeG1473 asG5613 you would an outlawG3027? EveryG2596 dayG2250 I satG2516 teachingG1321 inG1722 theG3588 templeG2411 courts,2 andG2532 you did not arrestG3756G2902 MeG1473. 56ButG1161 thisG3778 has allG3650 happenedG1096 so thatG2443 theG3588 writingsG1124 of theG3588 prophetsG4396 would be fulfilledG4137.”

ThenG5119 allG3956 theG3588 disciplesG3101 desertedG863 HimG846 and fledG5343.
