Mark 14:32-44 GNB . . .They came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." (33)
He took Peter, James, and John with him. Distress and anguish came over him, (34) and he said to them, "The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch." (35) He went a little farther on, threw himself on the ground, and prayed that, if possible, he might not have to go through that time of suffering. (36) "Father," he prayed, "my Father! All things are possible for you. Take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want." (37) Then he returned and found the three disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Weren't you able to stay awake for even one hour?" (38) And he said to them, "Keep watch, and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." (39) He went away once more and prayed, saying the same words. (40) Then he came back to the disciples and found them asleep; they could not keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to say to him. (41) When he came back the third time, he said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come! Look, the Son of Man is now being handed over to the power of sinners. (42) Get up, let us go. Look, here is the man who is betraying me!" (43) Jesus was still speaking when Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived. With him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs and sent by the chief priests, the teachers of the Law, and the elders. (44) The traitor had given the crowd a signal: "The man I kiss is the one you want. Arrest him and take him away under guard."
Mark 14:32-44 CEV . . .Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he told them, "Sit here while I pray." (33) Jesus took along Peter, James, and John. He was sad and troubled and (34) told them, "I am so sad that I feel as if I am dying. Stay here and keep awake with me." (35) Jesus walked on a little way. Then he knelt down on the ground and prayed, "Father, if it is possible, don't let this happen to me! Father, you can do anything. Don't make me suffer by having me drink from this cup. But do what you want, and not what I want." (36) (SEE 14:35) (37) When Jesus came back and found the disciples sleeping, he said to Simon Peter, "Are you asleep? Can't you stay awake for just one hour? (38) Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak." (39) Jesus went back and prayed the same prayer. (40) But when he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to say. (41) When Jesus returned to the disciples the third time, he said, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough of that! The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. (42) Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here." (43) Jesus was still speaking, when Judas the betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a mob of men armed with swords and clubs were with him. They had been sent by the chief priests, the nation's leaders, and the teachers of the Law of Moses. (44) Judas had told them ahead of time, "Arrest the man I greet with a kiss. Tie him up tight and lead him away."
Mark 14:32-44 GW . . .Then they came to a place called Gethsemane. He said to his disciples, "Stay here while I pray." (33) He took Peter, James, and John with him and began to feel distressed and anguished. (34) He said to them, "My anguish is so great that I feel as if I'm dying. Wait here, and stay awake." (35) After walking a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if it were possible he might not have to suffer what was ahead of him. (36) He said, "Abba! Father! You can do anything. Take this cup of suffering away from me. But let your will be done rather than mine." (37) He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour? (38) Stay awake, and pray that you won't be tempted. You want to do what's right, but you're weak." (39) He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before. (40) He found them asleep because they couldn't keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him. (41) He came back a third time and said to them, "You might as well sleep now. It's all over. The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. (42) Get up! Let's go! The one who is betraying me is near." (43) Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, arrived. A crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They were from the chief priests, scribes, and leaders of the people. (44) Now, the traitor had given them a signal. He said, "The one I kiss is the man you want. Arrest him, and guard him closely as you take him away."
Mark 14:32-44 NWT . . .32 So they came to a spot named Geth·sem´a·ne, and he said to his disciples: “Sit down here while I pray.” 33 And he took Peter and James and John along with him, and he started to be stunned and to be sorely troubled. 34 And he said to them: “My soul is deeply grieved, even to death. Stay here and keep on the watch.” 35 And going a little way forward he proceeded to fall on the ground and began praying that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 And he went on to say: “Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me. Yet not what I want, but what you want.” 37 And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter: “Simon, are you sleeping? Did you not have strength to keep on the watch one hour? 38 Men, keep on the watch and praying, in order that YOU do not come into temptation. The spirit, of course, is eager, but the flesh is weak.” 39 And he went away again and prayed, saying the same word. 40 And again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were weighed down, and so they did not know what to answer him. 41 And he came the third time and said to them: “At such a time as this YOU are sleeping and taking YOUR rest! It is enough! The hour has come! Look! The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42 Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer has drawn near.” 43 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived and with him a crowd with swords and clubs from the chief priests and the scribes and the older men. 44 Now his betrayer had given them an agreed sign, saying: “Whoever it is I kiss, this is he; take him into custody and lead him away safely.”
