Then Jesus cometh with them, into a place called Gethsemane, - and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I go yonder and pray.

And, taking with him, Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be grieved and to be in great distress.

Then, saith he unto them: Encompassed with grief, is my soul, unto death: Abide ye here, and be watching with me.

And, going forward a little, he fell upon his face, offering prayer, and saying - My Father! If it is possible, let this cup pass from me, - Nevertheless, not as, I, will, but as, thou, wilt.

And he cometh unto his disciples, and findeth them sleeping, and said unto Peter - Thus, powerless are ye, one hour, to watch with me?

Be watching and praying, that ye may not enter into temptation: The spirit, indeed, is, eager, but, the flesh, weak.

Again, a second time, departing he prayed, saying: My Father! If it is impossible for this to pass, except I, drink, it, Accomplished, be, thy will.

And coming, he, again, found them sleeping, for their eyes had become heavy.

And, leaving them, he, again, departed, and prayed a third time, the same word, saying again.

Then, cometh he unto the disciples, and saith unto them, - Ye are sleeping what time remaineth, and taking your rest: Lo! the hour hath drawn near, and, the Son of Man, is being delivered up into the hands of sinners.

Arise! let us be going, - Lo! he that delivereth me up, hath drawn near.
