The Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane was an episode in the life of Jesus that appears in the four canonical gospels, occurring between the Farewell Discourse at the conclusion of the Last Supper and Jesus' arrest.
According to all four canonical Gospels, immediately after the Last Supper, Jesus went for a walk to pray. Each Gospel provides slightly different details in the narrative. Matthew and Mark identify the place of prayer as Gethsemane. Jesus was accompanied by three Apostles: Peter, John, and James, whom he asked to stay awake and pray. He moved "a stone's throw away" from them, where he experienced overwhelming sadness and anguish, and said, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass me by. Nevertheless, let it be as You, not I, would have it." Later, he said, "If this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, Your will be done!" (Matthew 26:42; in Latin Vulgate: fiat voluntas tua). He repeated this prayer three times, checking on the three apostles between each prayer and finding them asleep. He commented, "The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak." An angel came from heaven to strengthen him. During his agony as he prayed, "His sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down upon the ground" (Luke 22:44).
At the conclusion of the narrative, Jesus accepts that the hour has come for him to be betrayed.
