32 Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he told them, "Sit here while I pray."
33 Jesus took along Peter, James, and John. He was sad and troubled and 34 told them, "I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me."
35,36 Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt down on the ground and prayed, "Father,14.35,36 Father: The Greek text has "Abba," which is an Aramaic word meaning "father." if it is possible, don’t let this happen to me! Father, you can do anything. Don’t make me suffer by drinking from this cup.14.35,36 by drinking from this cup: See the note at 10.38. But do what you want, and not what I want."
37 When Jesus came back and found the disciples sleeping, he said to Simon Peter, "Are you asleep? Can’t you stay awake for just one hour? 38 Stay awake and pray that you won’t be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak."
39 Jesus went back and prayed the same prayer. 40 But when he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to say.
41 When Jesus returned to the disciples the third time, he said, "Are you still sleeping and resting?14.41 Are you still sleeping and resting: Or "You may as well keep on sleeping and resting." Enough of this! The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. 42 Get up! Let’s go. The one who will betray me is already here."
