The Prayer in the Garden

Sorry, your browser doesn't support Java(tm).

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane,
and said to the disciples,
"Sit here while I go and pray over there."
And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee,
and He began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
Then He said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful,
even to death. Stay here and watch with Me."
He went a little farther and fell on His face,
and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible,
let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless,
not as I will, but as You will."

Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping,
and said to Peter, "Could you not watch with Me one hour?
Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, saying,
"O My Father, if this cup cannot pass away from Me
unless I drink it, Your will be done."
And He came and found them asleep again,
for their eyes were heavy.

So He left them, went away again,
and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
Then He came to His disciples and said to them,
"Are you still sleeping and resting?
Behold, the hour is at hand,
and the Son of Man is being betrayed
into the hands of sinners.
Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."
Matthew 26:36-46

And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves,
from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying,
Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said,
Hail, master; and kissed him.
And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come?

Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus
stretched out his hand, and drew his sword,
and struck a servant of the high priest's,
and smote off his ear.
Then said Jesus unto him,
Put up again thy sword into his place:
for all they that take the sword
shall perish with the sword.

Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father,
and he shall presently give me more
than twelve legions of angels?
But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it must be?

In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes,
Are ye come out as against a thief with swords
and staves for to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple,
and ye laid no hold on me.
But all this was done, that the scriptures
of the prophets might be fulfilled.
Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away
to Caiaphas the high priest,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
Matthew 26:47-57
