32
They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his
disciples, "Sit here while I pray."
33 He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be
deeply distressed and troubled.
34 "My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," he
said to them. "Stay here and keep watch."
35 Going a little farther,
he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass
from him.
36 "Abba, Father," he said, "everything is possible for you. Take
this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will."
37
Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.
"Simon," he said to Peter, "are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for
one hour?
38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The
spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
39 Once more he went away
and prayed the same thing.
40 When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their
eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 Returning the third time, he said to them, "Are you still
sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is
betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"

John 18
1 When Jesus had
spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the
brook Kidron, [in the Kidron Valley was an intermittent stream
during the rainy season], where was a garden, into which he
entered, himself and his disciples.
