New TestamentMatthewJesus Prays at Gethsemane · 26:36–4626:36 Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.26:37 And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.26:38 Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.26:39 And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.26:40 And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?26:41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.26:42 He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.26:43 And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.26:44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.26:45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.26:46 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
