his disciples to Gethsemane: "Stay here, while I go yonder and pray."

the garden with Peter, James, and John, Jesus prays, "My soul is sorrowful
unto death."

sees the sins of all mankind, whose guilt He has taken upon Himself.
4. He sees
the wrath of the Father, which His sufferings must appease.

appears to Him from heaven to strengthen Him.
7.
"Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet, not My will
but Yours be done."
8. Finding
the disciples asleep: "Could you not watch one hour with me?"

betrayed by Judas, cruelly bound and led away.

merits of the agony of Jesus in the Garden, has mercy on us and on the whole
world.
