Bible verse
Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
Mark 14:34 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 14.
30 “Truly I tell you,” Jesus replied, “this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times.”
31 But Peter kept insisting, “Even if I have to die with You, I will never deny You.” And all the others said the same thing.
32 Then they came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus told His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”
33 He took with Him Peter, James, and John, and began to be deeply troubled and distressed.
34 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch.”
35 Going a little farther, He fell to the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from Him.
36 “Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?
38 Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
