³²And they came to a place named^h Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³And he took along Peter and James and John with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled. ³⁴And he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.” ³⁵And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to prayⁱ that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him. ³⁶And he said, “Abba,^j Father, all things are possible for you! Take away this cup from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”^* ³⁷And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour? ³⁸Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!” ³⁹And again he went away and^* prayed, saying the same thing. ⁴⁰And again he came and^* found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open,^k and they did not know what to reply to him. ⁴¹And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴²Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
