Gospel Matthew Chapter 26, Verses 36 to 46. Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciple, "Sit here while I go over there to pray." He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, and he began to be filled with anguish and distress. And he said to them, "My soul is full of sorrow, even to death. Remain here and stay awake with me." He went a little farther and fell to the ground with his face touching the earth, and prayed, "Father, if it is possible, take this cup away from me.Yet not want, but what you want." He went back to his disciple and found them asleep, and he said to Peter, "Could you not stay awake with me for even an hour? Stay awake and pray, so that you may not slip into temptation. The spirit indeed is eager, but human nature is weak." He again went away and prayed, "Father, if this cup cannot be taken away from me without my drinking it, let your will be done." When he came back to his disciples, he again found them asleep, for they could not keep their eyes open. He left them and again went to pray the third time, saying the same words. Then he came back to his disciples and said to them, "You can sleep on now and take your rest! The hour has come and the Son of Man is now given over into the power of sinners. Get up, let us go. Look: the betrayer is here!" This is the word of Lord. Praise to you Lord Jesus Christ - Amen.
