36 Toe kom Jesus met hulle in 'n plek met die naam van Gets,man,, en Hy sê vir die dissipels: Sit hier onderwyl Ek daar gaan bid.

37 En Hy neem Petrus en die twee seuns van Sebed,Âs saam en begin bedroef en benoud word.

38 Toe sê Hy vir hulle: My siel is diep bedroef tot die dood toe; bly hier en waak saam met My.

39 En Hy het 'n bietjie verder gegaan en op sy aangesig geval en gebid en gesê: My Vader, as dit moontlik is, laat hierdie beker by My verbygaan; nogtans nie soos Ek wil nie, maar soos U wil.

40 En Hy kom by die dissipels en vind hulle aan die slaap, en Hy sê vir Petrus: So was julle dan nie in staat om een uur saam met My te waak nie?

41 Waak en bid, dat julle nie in versoeking kom nie. Die gees is wel gewillig, maar die vlees is swak.

42 Weer het Hy vir die tweede maal gaan bid en gesê: My Vader, as hierdie beker nie by My kan verbygaan sonder dat Ek dit drink nie, laat u wil geskied.

43 Toe kom Hy en vind hulle weer aan die slaap, want hulle oë was swaar.

44 En Hy het hulle met rus gelaat en weer vir die derde maal gaan bid en dieselfde woorde gesê.

45 Daarop kom Hy by sy dissipels en sê vir hulle: Slaap maar voort en rus. Kyk, die uur is naby, en die Seun van die mens word oorgelewer in die hande van sondaars.

46 Staan op, laat ons gaan; kyk, hy is naby wat My verraai.

36 Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go there and pray." 37 He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled. 38 Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me."

39 He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless, not what I desire, but what you desire."

40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What, couldn’t you watch with me for one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42 Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cup can’t pass away from me unless I drink it, your desire be done."

43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came to his disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
