Matthew 26:36-46

36Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”

37Taking along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

38He said to them, “I am deeply grieved to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with me.”

39Going a little farther, he fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”

40Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He asked Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me one hour?

41Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”

43And he came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.

44After leaving them, he went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

45Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? See, the time is near. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46Get up; let’s go. See, my betrayer is near.”
