Matthew 26:36-38

New International Reader's Version

Jesus Prays in Gethsemane

³⁶ Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” ³⁷ He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him. He began to be sad and troubled. ³⁸ Then he said to them, “My soul is very sad. I feel close to death. Stay here. Keep watch with me.”
