 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemani ...and he began to experience sorrow and distress.
(Mt. 26: 36-37)

 Then he said to them, "My heart is nearly broken with sorrow.  Remain here and stay awake with me."
(Mt. 26: 38)

He withdrew from them and knelt down and prayed.  (Lk. 22:41)

"Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me.  Still, let it be as you would have it, not as I."  (Mt. 26:39)

When he returned to his disciples, he found them asleep.  He said to Peter,  "So you could not stay awake
with me for even an hour?  Be on guard and pray that you may not undergo the test.  The spirit is willing, but
nature is weak."  (Mt. 26: 40-42)

In his anguish, he prayed more earnestly.  An angel appeared to him, coming from Heaven to give him
strength.  (Lk. 22: 44,43)

 "The hour is on us when the Son of Man is to be handed over to the power of evil men."  (Mt. 26:45)

While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived accompanied by a great crowd with swords and
clubs.  (Mt. 26: 47)

He immediately went over to Jesus, said to him, "Peace, Rabbi," and embraced him.  (Mt. 26: 49)

Jesus answered, "Friend, do what you are here for."  At that moment they stepped forward to lay hand on
Jesus and arrest Him.  (Mt. 26: 50)
