36 Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, »Sit here while I go over there and pray.«

37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.

38 Then he said to them, »My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch with me.«

39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, »O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.«

40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping; and he said to Peter, »So, could you not watch with me one hour?

41 Watch and pray, so that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.«

42 Again, a second time, he went away and prayed, »O my Father, if this cup cannot pass away unless I drink it, your will be done.«

43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44 So he left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, »Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.«
