38.

Jesus Prays

1. Today's Passage: Mark 14:32-42

Are you reading from your own Bible? I hope so :-)
If you would like other translations check out Bible Gateway. Linked here is our passage in the NASB
Or if you prefer, I have typed the NLT below.


32. They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, "Sit here while I go and pray."
33. He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed.
34. He told them, "My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me."
35. He went on a little farther and fell to the ground. He prayed that, if it were possible, the awful hour awaiting him might pass him by.
36. "Abba, Father," he cried out, "everything is possible for you. Please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine."

37. Then he returned and found the disciples asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you watch with me even one hour?
38. Keep watch and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak."


39. Then Jesus left them again and prayed the same prayer as before.
40. When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn't keep their eyes open. And they didn't know what to say.

41. When he returned to them the third time, he said, "Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But no – the time has come.  The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42. Up, Let's be going. Look, my betrayer is here!" 
Mark 14:32-42 NLT



2. What emotions do you think are shown from this passage?
Jesus' emotions? Peter, John, James' emotions? The other disciples?
And last, but not least, what are your emotions as you read this passage?

3. I pray that these practices into reading and pondering,
meditating and sharing are encouraging you in your walk with God.
We are being blessed by your comments.

4. Please leave your name and last initial.

My deepest desire is to serve God by providing this arena for us all to seek Him.

LENT
1st day today
This scripture given to me so many months ago. And now, this day, this moment I reread it.

Oh Jehushua
You struggled with the calling and purpose designated to bring man back into communion with the Trinity.
This passage is so honest, so real, so pained.

Oh Prayers
So like myself. My spirit is willing, but my body is weak.
I feel such sadness when I wake early to pray and have not gotten enough sleep. I am so sorry Abba.

Oh Jehushua
I've read this over and over today:
"Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But no – the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42. Up, Let's be going. Look, my betrayer is here!"


It is so sad.
