PRAYER OF, JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF' OLIVES.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith

unto, the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. And he took

with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and

very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even

unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with me.

And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O

my Father, if be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as

I will, but as thou wilt.

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto

Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that ye

enter not into temptation the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is

weak.

He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if

this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying

the same words.

Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and

take your rest behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is

betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise let us be going: behold, he is

at hand that doth betray me. Matthew xxvi, 36-46
