Matthew 26:36-50

36Then Yeshua comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He tells the disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”

37And He took along Peter and Zebedee’s two sons, and He began to be sorrowful and troubled.

38Then He tells them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”

39Going a little farther, He fell face down and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me! Yet not as I will, but as You will.”

40Then He comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping; and He tells Peter, “So couldn’t you keep watch with Me for one hour?

41Keep watching and praying, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42Again for a second time He went away and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, let Your will be done.”

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

44So He left them again and prayed a third time, saying the same words once more.

45Then He comes to the disciples and says to them, “Still sleeping? Taking your rest? Look, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being delivered into the hands of sinners.

46Get up, let’s go! Look, My betrayer is near.”

47While Yeshua was still speaking, here came Judah, one of the Twelve, and with him a big crowd with swords and clubs, from the ruling kohanim and elders of the people.

48Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘The One I kiss, He’s the One—seize Him!’

49And immediately Judah drew near to Yeshua and said, “Shalom, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50“Friend,” Yeshua said to him, “do what you’ve come to do.” Then they came up and threw their hands on Yeshua and seized Him.
