Jesus'
Agony In The Garden of Gethsemane
(Location:
The Garden Of Gethsemane- On The Mount Of Olives)
MATTHEW
26:
36 Then Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane,
and He said to them, "Sit
here while I go over there and pray." 37 He
took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with Him, and He
began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 Then He
said to them, "My
soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here
and keep watch with Me." 39 Going
a little farther, He fell with His face to the ground and prayed, "My
Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from Me. Yet not
as I will, but as You will." 40 Then
He returned to His disciples and found them sleeping. "Could
you men not keep watch with Me for one hour?" He asked Peter. 41 "Watch
and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak." 42 He went away a second time and prayed, "My
Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless
I drink it, may Your will be done." 43 When
He came back, He again found them sleeping, because their eyes
were heavy. 44 So He left them and went away
once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. 45 Then
He returned to the disciples and said to them, "Are
you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the
Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46 Rise,
let us go! Here comes My betrayer!"
MARK
14:
26 When they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
32 They went to a place called
Gethsemane, and Jesus said to His disciples, "Sit
here while I pray." 33 He
took Peter, James and John along with Him, and He began to be
deeply distressed and troubled. 34 "My
soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death," He said to them. "Stay
here and keep watch." 35 Going a little farther, He
fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass
from Him. 36 "Abba,
Father," He said, "everything is possible for You. Take
this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will." 37 Then He returned to His disciples and found them sleeping. "Simon,"
He said to Peter, "are
you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? 38 Watch
and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
willing, but the body is weak." 39 Once more He went away and
prayed the same thing. 40 When He came back, He
again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did
not know what to say to Him. 41 Returning the
third time, He said to them, "Are
you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look,
the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Rise!
Let us go! Here comes My betrayer!"
LUKE
22:
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples
followed Him. 40 On reaching the place, He said
to them, "Pray that you will not fall into
temptation." 41 He withdrew about a stone's throw beyond them,
knelt down and prayed, 42 "Father,
if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but
Yours be done." 43 An angel from Heaven
appeared to Him and strengthened Him. 44 And
being in anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like
drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When
He rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, He found them
asleep, exhausted from sorrow. 46 "Why
are you sleeping?" He
asked them. "Get up and pray so that you will not fall
into temptation."
