Matthew 26:36-46

36 Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane. He said to the disciples, “Sit down here while I go over there and pray.”Mark 14:32-35; Luke 22:39; John 18:1 37 Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to be grieved and troubled.Matt 4:21

38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake with me.”John 12:27

39 Going on a little farther, he fell on his face and prayed, “O my Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet not what I want but what you want.”Matt 20:22; Mark 14:36; Luke 22:42; John 5:30; 6:38; 12:27; Phil 2:8; Heb 5:7

40 When he went back to the disciples, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, “So, you men ^{▼▼Lit. you (pl.)} couldn't stay awake with me for one hour, could you? 41 All of you ^{▼▼Lit. You (pl.)} must stay awake and pray that you won't come into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing, but the flesh is weak.”Mark 13:33; 14:38; Luke 22:40, 46; Eph 6:18

42 He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot go away unless I drink it, let your will be done.” 43 Again he came back and found them asleep, for their eyes were very heavy. 44 After leaving them again, he went away and prayed again for the third time, saying the same thing.

45 Then he came back to the disciples and said to them, “You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. ^{▼▼Or Are you still sleeping and resting?} Look! The time is near for the Son of Man to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Get up! Let's go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!”

Wait here and stay awake.”John 12:27

35 Going on a little farther, he fell to the ground and kept praying that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. 36 He kept repeating, “Abba! ^{▼▼Abba is Heb./Aram. for Father} Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup away from me. Yet not what I want but what you want.”John 5:30; 6:38; Rom 8:15; Gal 4:6; Heb 5:7
