The Agony in Gethsemane

Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB)

Mat 26:36–46

36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane and said to his disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him and began to become sorrowful and troubled.
38 Then he said to them, “My soul is deeply sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch with me.”
39 He went a little farther, fell on his face, and prayed. He said, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. Yet, not as I will, but as you will.”
40 He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “What, could you not watch with me for one hour?
41 Watch and pray that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
42 He went away a second time and prayed. He said, “My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, your will be done.”
43 He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44 So leaving them again, he went away and prayed a third time, saying the same words.
45 Then Jesus came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Look, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46 Arise, let us go. Look, the one who is betraying me is near.”

32 They came to the place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 He took Peter, James, and John with him and began to be distressed and deeply troubled.
34 He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and watch.”
35 Going a little farther, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him.
36 He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible with you. Remove this cup from me. But not my will, but yours.”
37 He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch for one hour?
38 Watch and pray that you do not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39 Again he went away and prayed, and he used the same words.
40 When he came back again, he found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him.
41 He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? Enough! The hour has come. Look! The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Get up; let us go. Look, the one who is betraying me is near.”

39 Jesus went, as he often did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.
40 When they arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you do not enter into temptation.”
41 He went away from them about a stone's throw, and he knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless not my will, but yours be done.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.
45 When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of their sorrow,
46 and asked them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.”
