Jesus’ Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane

Matthew 26:36–46; Mark 14:26, 32–42; Luke 22:39–46

Mt 26:36a–37aThen Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and He told the disciples, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37aTaking along Peter, Mk 14:33aJames, and John, Mt 26:37b–38the two sons of Zebedee, He began to be sorrowful [Mk 14:33horrified] and deeply distressed. 38Then He said to them, “My soul is swallowed up in sorrowto the point of death. Remain here and stay awake with Me.”

Mk 14:35–36Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36And He said, “Abba, Father! All things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.” Lk 22:43–44Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.*

Mt 26:40aThen He came to the disciples and found them sleeping. Mk 14:37b“Simon, are you sleeping?” He asked Peter. Mt 26:40b–43“Couldn’t you stay awake with Me one hour? 41Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 42Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.” 43And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. Mk 14:40bThey did not know what to say to Him.

Mt 26:44–45aAfter leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45aThen He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Mk 14:41bEnough! Mt 26:45b–46Look, the time is near. The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Get up; let’s go! See—My betrayer is near.”[1]
