Mark 14:32–36

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

32 They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, Sit here while I go and pray.” 33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed. 34 He told them, My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”

35 He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by. 36 Abba, Father,”* he cried out, everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine.”
