Mark 14:32-42

32 So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
33 Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,
34 and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
35 Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;
36 and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."
37 Then He came and found them asleep, and He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Had you not strength to keep awake a single hour?
38 Be wakeful, all of you, and keep on praying, that you may not come into temptation: the spirit is right willing, but the body is frail."
39 He again went away and prayed, using the very same words.
40 When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.
41 A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.
42 Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."
