#religion/christianity  The scriptures that mention Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane before his crucifixion can be found in the New Testament, specifically in the books of Matthew 26:36-46, Mark 14:32-42, and Luke 22:39-46. It is interesting to see that Satan came to tempt Jesus in his saddest moment. > [!bible]- [Mark 14:32-42 - NIV](https://bolls.life/NIV/41/14/) > Gethsemane > 32. They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” > 33. He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled. > 34. ==“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,”== he said to them. “Stay here and keep watch.” > 35. Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him. > 36. “Abba, Father,” he said, ==“everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”== > 37. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Could you not keep watch for one hour? > 38. Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” > 39. Once more he went away and prayed the same thing. > 40. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him. > 41. Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. > 42. Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” > [!bible]- [Matthew 26:36-46 - NIV](https://bolls.life/NIV/40/26/) > Gethsemane > 36. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and 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, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. > 38. Then he said to them, ==“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”== > 39. 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.”== > 40. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. > 41. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” > 42. He went away a second time and prayed, ==“My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.”== > 43. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. > 44. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. > 45. 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. > 46. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!”
