Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

Matthew 26

36 Then Jesus came with them unto a place called Gethsemane and said unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and very heavy. 38 Then he said unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here and watch with me. 39 And he went a little further and fell on his face, praying and saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt. 40 And he came unto the disciples and found them asleep and said unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 42 He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me except I drink it, thy will be done. 43 And he came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45 Then he came unto his disciples and said unto them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise, let us be going; behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
