========================
Matthew 26:36-46
========================
36Then Jesus went with his
disciples to a place called
37He took Peter and the two
sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled.
38Then he said to them, “My
soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch
with me.”
39Going a little farther, he
fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may
this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.”
40Then he returned to his
disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one
hour?” he asked Peter.
41“Watch and pray so that you
will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42He went away a second time
and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away
unless I drink it, may your will be done.”
43When he came back, he again
found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy.
44So he left them and went
away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45Then he returned to the
disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour
has come, and the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.
46Rise! Let us go! Here comes
my betrayer!”
