Matthew 26:36-46

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

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

38And 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.

39And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

40Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

41He 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.

42And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy.

43And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

44Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

45Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.

46And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

Luke 22:39-46

39And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.

40And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,

42Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. willing, remove: Gr. willing to remove

43And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.

44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,

46And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. He takes Peter, James, and John; begins to be sorrowful and very heavy, and saith, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: tarry ye here, and watch with Me. He goes a little farther, falls on His face, and prays, O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me: nevertheless not as I will, but as Thou wilt. He comes to the disciples and finds them asleep. He prays the second time. He prays the third time, saying the same words. Luke tells us that, being in an agony, He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. There appeared an angel unto Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
