Jesus thereupon went with the eleven disciples over the brook Kidron to
the Mount of Olives; there was a garden called Gethsemane. In the way He
said: All of you shall be offended because of me this night. Peter said:
Even if all shall be offended, yet will not I be offended. Jesus
answered: Before the cock crows twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.
When they came to the place, Jesus said to the disciples: Remain ye
here, while I go yonder and pray. And He took with Him Peter, James and
John farther into the garden and said to them: Abide here, and watch
with me! And he went away as far as a stone’s cast, fell upon His face
and said: My Father, if it be possible, then take this cup from me!
Nevertheless, not as I will but as Thou wilt!
And He came to the three disciples and found them sleeping. Then He said
unto Peter: Could ye not watch one hour with me? Watch and pray, that ye
enter not into temptation! Again He went away and prayed the same
prayer, and thus three times; and while He suffered the agony of death
His sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling on the ground.
And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him. And
when He rose up from His prayer, He came to His disciples and said unto
them: The hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners; he that betrayeth me is near.
And while He yet spake Judas came with a band of soldiers and the
servants of the chief priests, having weapons and torches. Judas had
said: He whom I shall kiss, that is He: take Him. And he went up to
Jesus and said: Hail, Master! And he kissed Him. Jesus answered: Judas,
betrayest thou the Son of Man with a kiss? Then the band stepped forth
and laid hold on Jesus. But all the disciples forsook Him and fled. (All
the Gospels.)
