Gethsemane

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples,

He took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and severely troubled.

Then Jesus said to them,

He went forward a little, fell on his face, and prayed, saying,

He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,

Watch and pray, that you don’t enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again, a second time he went away and prayed, saying,

He came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

He left them again, went away, and prayed a third time, saying the same words.

Then he came to his disciples and said to them,

Arise, let’s be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand.”

While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying,

Immediately he came to Jesus, and said,

and kissed him.

Jesus said to him,

Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

Behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

Then Jesus said to him,

Or do you think that I couldn’t ask my Father, and he would even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that it must be so?”

In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes,

But all this has happened that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left him and fled.
