The Prayer in the Garden

³² Then^(A) they came to a place named Gethsemane, and he told his disciples,^(B) ‘Sit here while I pray.’^{(C) 33} He took Peter,^(D) James,^(E) and John^(F) with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. ³⁴ He said to them, ‘I am deeply grieved^[a] to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.’^{(G) 35} He went a little further, fell to the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour^(H) might pass from him. ³⁶ And he said, ‘Abba,^[b] Father!^(I) All things are possible^(J) for you. Take this cup^(K) away from me. Nevertheless, not what I will, but what you will.’ ³⁷ Then he came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, ‘Simon,^(L) are you sleeping?^(M) Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour? ³⁸ Stay awake and pray^(N) so that you won’t enter into temptation.^[c](O) The spirit^(P) is willing, but the flesh^(Q) is weak.’ ³⁹ Once again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing. ⁴⁰ And again he came and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open. They did not know what to say to him.^(R)
