The Prayer in Gethsemane

32 And they came to a place named[fn] Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 33 And he took along Peter and James and John with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.” 35 And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to pray[fn] that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him. 36 And he said, “Abba,[fn] Father, allthings are possible for you! Take away this cup from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”[fn] 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour? 38 Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!” 39 And again he went away and[fn] prayed, saying the same thing. 40 And again he came and[fn] found them sleeping,for they could not keep their eyes open,[fn] and they did not know what to reply to him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
