And he gave direction to his disciples, that a boat should be in readiness for him because of the multitude, that they might not throng him.

And he appointed twelve to be with him, and whom he might send forth to preach,

And going on a little farther, he fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it was possible, the hour might pass from him.
