Matthew 26:35-42 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

35. Peter said to him, "Even if it is necessary for me to die with you, I will not deny you." And all the disciples spoke similarly.

36. Then Jesus went with them to a garden, which is called Gethsemani. And he said to his disciples, "Sit down here, while I go there and pray."

37. And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and saddened.

38. Then he said to them: "My soul is sorrowful, even unto death. Stay here and keep vigil with me."

39. And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: "My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will."

40. And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: "So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?

41. Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42. Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done."
