Jesus Predicts His Death

The Son of Man (Jesus) is going to be betrayed into the

hands of men. They will kill him, and on the third day hewill be raised to life. And the disciples were filled with

grief.

~ Matthew 17:22-23

Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called

Gethsemane, and he said to them, "Sit here while I goover there and pray." He took Peter and the two sons ofZebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowfuland troubled.

Then he said to them,

"My soul is overwhelmed with

sorrow to the point of death.

Stay here and keep watch

with me.

Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground

and prayed, "My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be

taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.

Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping.Could you men not keep watch for me for one hour?he asked Peter. Watch and pray so that you will not fallinto temptation. The spirit is willing but the body is weak.

He went away a second time and prayed, My Father, if it

not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it,

may your will be done.

When he came back, he again

found them sleeping, because

their eyes were heavy. So heleft them and went away once

more and prayed the third time,

saying the same thing.

Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, Are

you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and

the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise,

Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!

~ Matthew 26:36-46
