AT the
foot of the Mount of Olives, near the path over the hill toward Bethany, there
was an orchard of olive trees, called " The Garden of Gethsemane." The word
"Gethsemane" means "oil press." Jesus often went to this place with his
disciples, because of its quiet shade. At this garden he stopped, and outside he
left eight of his disciples, saying to them, "Sit here, while I go inside and
pray."

He took with him the three chosen ones, Peter, James and John, and went within
the orchard. Jesus knew that in a little while Judas would be there with a band
of men to seize him; that within a few hours he would be
beaten, and stripped,
and led out to die. The thought of what he was to suffer came upon him and
filled his soul with grief.

He said to Peter, and James, and John, "My soul is filled with sorrow; a sorrow
that almost kills me. Stay here and watch while I am praying.'" He went a little
further among the trees, and flung himself down upon the ground, and cried out
"O, my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass away from me; nevertheless,
not as I will, but as You will!"
So earnest was his feeling and so great his suffering, that there came out upon
his face great drops of sweat like blood, falling upon the ground. After praying
for a time, he rose up from the earth, and went to his three disciples, and
found them all asleep. He awaked them, and said to Peter, "What, could you not
watch with me one hour? Watch and pray, that you may not go into temptation. The
spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
He left them, and went a second time into the woods, and fell on his knees, and
prayed again, saying, "O, my Father, if this cup cannot pass away, and I must
drink it, then thy will be done."
He came again to the three disciples, and found them sleeping; but this time he
did not wake them. He went once more into the woods, and prayed, using the same
words. And an angel from heaven came to him, and gave him strength.
