Then he went forward a little, and fell on his face, and prayed: My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass away from me: nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will. When he came to the disciples, they were sleeping. He said to Peter: Could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray continually that you do not enter into temptation! A second time he went away and prayed, saying: Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, your will be done. He returned to find them sleeping again, for their eyes were heavy. He went away to pray a third time, saying the same words. After returning to the disciples, he said: Do you sleep now and take your rest? The hour is here and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Arise, let us go; the man who betrays me is here. As he spoke, Judas, one of the twelve, followed by a crowd carrying swords and spears, approached him. The chief priest and elders of the people had sent them. He that betrayed him gave them a sign. He told them: The one I kiss is he. Take him. He went directly to Jesus and said: Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him. Jesus told him: Do that for which you came. They laid hands on Jesus, and captured him.

He went forward a little ways and fell on the ground to pray. He prayed that if it were possible the hour might pass from him. He said: Abba, Father, all things are possible to you. Take this cup from me. Even so not what I will, but what you will. He returned to find them sleeping. He said to Peter, Simon why do you sleep? Could you not watch for one hour? To avoid temptation watch and pray. The spirit truly is willing but the flesh is weak. Again he went away and prayed, and spoke the same words. He came and found them asleep again. They did not know what to say to him. He came a third time and said to them: Sleep and take your rest. It is enough the hour has come. Look, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners! Rise up and let us go. He that betrays me is near. Suddenly, as he spoke, Judas one of the twelve arrived. A great crowd with swords and spears were with him. They were from the chief priests, scribes and elders. He who betrayed him gave them a sign. He told them the one I kiss is the one to capture and take away safely. When he arrived he went straight to him and said: Master and kissed him. They grabbed him and took him away.
