Mark 14:32-42

32 Jesus Prays in the Garden of Gethsemane Matthew 26:36-46; Luke 22:39-46Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit down here while I pray.”Matt 26:36; Luke 22:39; John 18:1 33 He took Peter, James, and John along with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled. 34 So he said to them, “I am deeply grieved, even to the point of death. 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

37 When he went back, he found them asleep. He said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you? 38 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.”Rom 7:23; Gal 5:17

39 He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before. ^{▼▼Lit. the same word} 40 Again he came back and found them asleep, for their eyes were very heavy. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

41 He came back a third time and said to them, “You might as well keep on sleeping and resting. ^{▼▼Or Are you still sleeping and resting?} Enough of that! The time has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.John 13:1 42 Get up! Let's go! See, the one who is betraying me is near!”Matt 26:46; John 18:1-2

Yet not my will but yours be done.”John 5:30; 6:38

43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.Matt 4:11 44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like large drops of blood falling on the ground. ^{▼▼Other mss. lack verses 4344 and}John 12:27; Heb 5:7

45 When he got up from prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow. 46 He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and keep on praying that you may not come into temptation.”Luke 22:40
