26:36¶ Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.

26:37And he took with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and very heavy.

26:39And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

26:40And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

26:41Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

26:42He went away again the second time, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, thy will be done.

26:43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.
