Early in the morning, while it was still dark, he rose up and went out, and departed into a deserted place, and prayed there.

After he had taken leave of them, he went up the mountain to pray.

But he withdrew himself into the desert, and prayed.

When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things, and will remind you of all that I said to you.

Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and said to his disciples, “Sit here, while I go there and pray.”

They said to him, “Why do John’s disciples often fast and pray, likewise also the disciples of the Pharisees, but yours eat and drink?”

When he came to the house, he didn’t allow anyone to enter in, except Peter, John, James, the father of the child, and her mother.

As he was praying alone, the disciples were with him, and he asked them, “Who do the multitudes say that I am?”

And because you are children, God sent out the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, “Abba, Father!”

For this cause, I bow my knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,

for the perfecting of the saints, to the work of serving, to the building up of the body of Christ,

who sets his heart to seek God, Yahweh, the God of his fathers, even if they aren’t clean according to the purification of the sanctuary.”
