Matthew 26:39-49

39 And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless, not as I will but as thou wilt.
40 And he cometh to his disciples and findeth them asleep. And he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?
41 Watch ye: and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42 Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.
43 And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.
44 And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.
45 Then he cometh to his disciples and said to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. Behold the hour is at hand: and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Rise: let us go. Behold he is at hand that will betray me.
47 As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.
48 And he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he. Hold him fast.
49 And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.
