The Agony in the Garden
26:36 * Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane,*
and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I go over
there and pray."
26:37 He took along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, * and
began to feel sorrow and distress.
26:38 Then he said to them, "My soul is sorrowful even to
death. * Remain here and keep watch with me."
26:39 He advanced a little and fell prostrate in prayer, saying,
"My Father, * if it is possible, let this cup pass from
me; yet, not as I will, but as you will."
26:40 When he returned to his disciples he found them asleep.
He said to Peter, "So you could not keep watch with me for
one hour?
26:41 Watch and pray that you may not undergo the test. * The
spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
26:42 * Withdrawing a second time, he prayed again, "My
Father, if it is not possible that this cup pass without my drinking
it, your will be done!"
26:43 Then he returned once more and found them asleep, for they
could not keep their eyes open.
26:44 He left them and withdrew again and prayed a third time,
saying the same thing again.
26:45 Then he returned to his disciples and said to them, "Are
you still sleeping and taking your rest? Behold, the hour is
at hand when the Son of Man is to be handed over to sinners.
26:46 Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is at hand." |
