¶ W[hen] Jesus had spoken these words, he went forth with his disciples over the brook
Cedron, where was a garden, • Then cometh Jesus with them into a place • {which was named / called}

Gethsemane, • [a]nd when he was at the place, • into the which he entered, and his disciples • he saith •
unto • his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall • go and pray yonder. • And Judas also, which betrayed
him, knew the place: [F]or Jesus oft times resorted thither with his disciples. • And he took with him
Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, • James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and • sorrowful

and very heavy. Then saith he unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death: [T]arry ye
here, and watch with me. • And he went forward a little • further, and fell • on the ground, • on his face,
and prayed, • that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. And he said, • O my • Abba,

words. • Saying, Father if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: [N]evertheless • O my Father, if this
cup may not pass away from me, except I drink it, • not my will, but thine • will • be done. And there
appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more
earnestly: [A]nd his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground. And when he
was rose up from prayer, • he returned, • And he came • to his disciples, • and found them asleep again

• for sorrow, • (for there eyes were heavy,) • [a]nd said unto them, Why sleep ye? [R]ise and pray, lest
ye enter into temptation. • [N]either wist they what to answer him. • And he left them, and went away
again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. Then cometh he to his disciples, • the third
