' " 19) So the disciples did as Jesus directed them; and they prepared the Passover. 20) When evening had come, He sat down with the telve. 21) Now as they were eating, He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, one of you will betray Me." 22) And they were exceedingly sorrowful, and each one of them began to say, "Lord is it I?" 23) He answered and said, "He who dipped his hand with Me in the dish will betray Me. 24) The Son of Man ndeed goes jut as it is written of Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed!

Stay here and watch with Me." 39) He went a little father and fell on His face, and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will." 40) Then He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "What! Could you not watch with Me one hour? 41) Watch and pra, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit is indeed willing but the flesh is weak." 42) Again, asecond time, He prayed, aying, "O My Father, if this cup cannot oass away from Me unless I drink it, Your will be done." 43) And He came and found them asleep agan, for their eyes were heavy. 44) So He left them, went away again, and prayed the the third time, saying the same words. 45) Then He came to His disciples and said said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46) Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand."
