THE SURROUNDING PASSAGE
Mark 14:36 in context
Mark 14:33–39
33
He took with him Peter, James, and John, and began to be greatly troubled and distressed.
34
He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.”
35
He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
37
He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you watch one hour?
38
Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”
39
Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.
