Markos 14:31-40 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

31. But Kefa kept saying with vehemence, If it is necessary for me to die al kiddush ha-Shem for you, by no means will I make hakhchashah of you. And so also everyone declared.

32. And they come to a place of which the name [was] Gat Shmanim and Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to his talmidim, Sit down here while I daven.

33. And he takes Kefa and Yaakov and Yochanan with him and he began to be distressed and to be troubled.

34. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach says to them, My agmat nefesh (grief) is great, even to the point of mavet (death). Remain here and stay awake and shomer (on guard).

35. And having gone forth a little, he was falling on the ground and was davening that, if it is possible, this shaah (hour) might pass from him.

36. And Rebbe, Melech HaMoshiach was saying, Abba, Avi, all things [are] possible for you. Take away this KOS [YESHAYAH 51:17; 53:12] from me. But not what I will, but what you [will].

37. And he comes and finds them sleeping, and he says to Shimon Kefa, Are you sleeping? Did you not have chozek (strength) to stay awake one hour?

38. Stay shomer and daven that you may not enter into nisayon (trial, temptation). Indeed the ruach [is] ready but the basar [is] weak.

39. And again he went away and davened the same dvarim (words) as before. [14:36]

40. And once again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were falling shut, and they did not have daas of what they might answer him.
