That night, Jesus took His disciples to a quiet garden called
Gethsemane.
"Stay here and pray while I go over there," said Jesus to some of
the disciples. Then He turned to Peter, James, and John, and said,
"My heart is breaking with sadness. Stay here to watch and pray."
Jesus went on ahead of them. Falling with His face to the ground,
He cried out to the Father. "If it is possible, please remove this
task from Me. But don't do My will, Father; only let Your will be
done."
When Jesus returned to His disciples, He found that they had all
fallen asleep. And so, in His darkest hour, Jesus prayed alone. He
cried out to His Father again and again.
Finally, He finished praying. He went back and woke up His
disciples. "The time has come for the Son of Man to betrayed!" He
said. " Look, here comes my betrayer now!"
When Jesus returned to His disciples, He found that they had all
fallen asleep. And so, in His darkest hour, Jesus prayed alone. He
cried out to His Father again and again.
