39 Kαι καθώς βγήκε έξω, πήγε, σύμφωνα με τη συνήθειά του, στο βουνό των Eλαιών· τον ακολούθησαν δε και οι μαθητές του.40 Kαι όταν ήρθε στον τόπο, είπε σ’ αυτούς: Προσεύχεστε για να μη μπείτε μέσα σε πειρασμό.41 Kαι αυτός χωρίστηκε απ’ αυτούς σε περίπου απόσταση βολής μιας πέτρας, και καθώς γονάτισε, προσευχόταν,42 λέγοντας: Πατέρα, αν θέλεις να απομακρύνεις από μένα τούτο το ποτήρι· όμως, όχι το δικό μου θέλημα, αλλά το δικό σου ας γίνει.43 Kαι φάνηκε σ’ αυτόν ένας άγγελος από τον ουρανό ενισχύοντάς τον.44 Kαι καθώς ήρθε σε αγωνία, προσευχόταν πιο θερμά. Έγινε, μάλιστα, ο ιδρώτας του σαν θρόμβοι αίματος που κατέβαιναν στη γη.45 Kαι όταν σηκώθηκε από την προσευχή, ήρθε στους μαθητές του, και τους βρήκε να κοιμούνται από τη λύπη.46 Kαι τους είπε: Tι κοιμάστε; Σηκωθείτε και προσεύχεστε, για να μη μπείτε μέσα σε πειρασμό.
Mark 14
32 And they went to a place called Gethsemane. And he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”33 And he took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly distressed and troubled.34 And he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death. Remain here and watch.”35 And going a little farther, he fell on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.36 And he said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for you. Remove this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you asleep? Could you not watch one hour?38 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”39 And again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy, and they did not know what to answer him.41 And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough; the hour has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.42 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
Matthew 26
36 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go over there and pray.”37 And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled.38 Then he said to them, “My soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me.”39 And going a little farther he fell on his face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will.”40 And he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter, “So, could you not watch with me one hour?41 Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”42 Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, your will be done.”43 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.44 So, leaving them again, he went away and prayed for the third time, saying the same words again.45 Then he came to the disciples and said to them, “Sleep and take your rest later on. See, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.46 Rise, let us be going; see, my betrayer is at hand.”
