The Agony in Gethsemane
Darby Translation (DBY)
Mat 26:36–46
- 36 Then Jesus comes with them to a place called Gethsemane, and says to the disciples, Sit here until I go away and pray yonder.
- 37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.
- 38 Then he says to them, My soul is very sorrowful even unto death; remain here and watch with me.
- 39 And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou wilt.
- 40 And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?
- 41 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak.
- 42 Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass from me unless I drink it, thy will be done.
- 43 And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
- 44 And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
- 45 Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
- 46 Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
Mrk 14:32–42
- 32 And they come to a place of which the name is Gethsemane, and he says to his disciples, Sit here while I shall pray.
- 33 And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and he began to be amazed and oppressed in spirit.
- 34 And he says to them, My soul is full of grief even unto death; abide here and watch.
- 35 And, going forward a little, he fell upon the earth; and he prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
- 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: take away this cup from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.
- 37 And he comes and finds them sleeping. And he says to Peter, Simon, dost thou sleep? Hast thou not been able to watch one hour?
- 38 Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.
- 39 And going away, he prayed again, saying the same thing.
- 40 And returning, he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy; and they knew not what they should answer him.
- 41 And he comes the third time and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
- 42 Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
Luk 22:39–46
- 39 And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
- 40 And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
- 41 And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,
- 42 saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done.
- 43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him.
- 44 And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
- 45 And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.
- 46 And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.
