Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

Mark 14

32 s And they went k to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." 33 And he took with him t Peter and James and John, and began u to be greatly distressed and troubled. 34 And he said to them, v "My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and w watch." 1 35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground x and prayed that, if it were possible, y the hour might pass from him. 36 And he said, z "Abba, Father, a all things are possible for you. Remove b this cup from me. c Yet not what I will, but what you will." 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour? 38 w Watch and d pray that you may not e enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak." 39 And again he went away and prayed, f saying the same words. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for g their eyes were very heavy, and h they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? i It is enough; j the hour has come. k The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand."
