Then Jesus came with them to a place
called Gethsemane, and he said to his
disciples, "Sit here while I go
over there and pray." 37 He took
along Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and began to feel sorrow and distress.
38 Then he said to them, "My soul
is sorrowful even to death. Remain here
and keep watch with me." 39 He
advanced a little and fell prostrate in
prayer, saying, "My Father, if it
is possible, let this cup pass from me;
yet, not as I will, but as you
will." 40 When he returned to his
disciples he found them asleep. He said
to Peter, "So you could not keep
watch with me for one hour? 41 Watch and
pray that you may not undergo the test.
The spirit is willing, but the flesh is
weak." 42 Withdrawing a second
time, he prayed again, "My Father,
if it is not possible that this cup pass
without my drinking it, your will be
done!" 43 Then he returned once
more and found them asleep, for they
could not keep their eyes open. 44 He
left them and withdrew again and prayed
a third time, saying the same thing
again. 45 Then he returned to his
disciples and said to them, "Are
you still sleeping and taking your rest?
Behold, the hour is at hand when the Son
of Man is to be handed over to sinners.
46 Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer
is at hand." |

Mark
14: 32-42
32
Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he said to his
disciples, "Sit here while I
pray." 33 He took with him Peter,
James, and John, and began to be
troubled and distressed. 34 Then he said
to them, "My soul is sorrowful even
to death. Remain here and keep
watch." 35 He advanced a little and
fell to the ground and prayed that if it
were possible the hour might pass by
him; 36 he said, "Abba, Father, all
things are possible to you. Take this
cup away from me, but not what I will
but what you will." 37 When he
returned he found them asleep. He said
to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep?
Could you not keep watch for one hour?
38 Watch and pray that you may not
undergo the test. The spirit is willing
but the flesh is weak." 39
Withdrawing again, he prayed, saying the
same thing. 40 Then he returned once
more and found them asleep, for they
could not keep their eyes open and did
not know what to answer him. 41 He
returned a third time and said to them,
"Are you still sleeping and taking
your rest? It is enough. The hour has
come. Behold, the Son of Man is to be
handed over to sinners. 42 Get up, let
us go. See, my betrayer is at
hand."
Luke
22: 39-53
39
Then going out he went, as was his
custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the
disciples followed him. 40 When he
arrived at the place he said to them,
"Pray that you may not undergo the
test." 41 After withdrawing about a
stone's throw from them and kneeling, he
prayed, 42 saying, "Father, if you
are willing, take this cup away from me;
still, not my will but yours be
done." 43 (And to strengthen him an
angel from heaven appeared to him. 44 He
was in such agony and he prayed so
fervently that his sweat became like
drops of blood falling on the ground.)
45 When he rose from prayer and returned
to his disciples, he found them sleeping
from grief. 46 He said to them,
"Why are you sleeping? Get up and
pray that you may not undergo the
test." 47 While he was still
speaking, a crowd approached and in
front was one of the Twelve, a man named
Judas. He went up to Jesus to kiss him.
48 Jesus said to him, "Judas, are
you betraying the Son of Man with a
kiss?" 49 His disciples realized
what was about to happen, and they
asked, "Lord, shall we strike with
a sword?" 50 And one of them struck
the high priest's servant and cut off
his right ear. 51 But Jesus said in
reply, "Stop, no more of
this!" Then he touched the
servant's ear and healed him. 52 And
Jesus said to the chief priests and
temple guards and elders who had come
for him, "Have you come out as
against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53 Day after day I was with you in the
temple area, and you did not seize me;
but this is your hour, the time for the
power of darkness."
John
18: 1-11
1
When he had said this, Jesus went out
with his disciples across the Kidron
valley to where there was a garden, into
which he and his disciples entered. 2
Judas his betrayer also knew the place,
because Jesus had often met there with
his disciples. 3 So Judas got a band of
soldiers and guards from the chief
priests and the Pharisees and went there
with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4
Jesus, knowing everything that was going
to happen to him, went out and said to
them, "Whom are you looking
for?" 5 They answered him,
"Jesus the Nazorean." He said
to them, "I AM." Judas his
betrayer was also with them. 6 When he
said to them, "I AM," they
turned away and fell to the ground. 7 So
he again asked them, "Whom are you
looking for?" They said,
"Jesus the Nazorean." 8 Jesus
answered, "I told you that I AM. So
if you are looking for me, let these men
go." 9 This was to fulfill what he
had said, "I have not lost any of
those you gave me." 10 Then Simon
Peter, who had a sword, drew it, struck
the high priest's slave, and cut off his
right ear. The slave's name was Malchus.
11 Jesus said to Peter, "Put your
sword into its scabbard. Shall I not
drink the cup that the Father gave
me?"
