Mark 14:26, 32-42

2. Jesus
knew
His
future:
Matt. 20:18-19 NKJV "Behold, we
are going up to Jerusalem, and
the Son of Man will be betrayed
to the chief priests and to the
scribes; and they will condemn
Him to death, (19) and deliver
Him to the Gentiles to mock and
to scourge and to crucify. And the
third day He will rise again."

4. Mark 14:26 NKJV
And when they
had sung a hymn,
they went out to
the Mount of
Olives.
Late Thursday April 6, 30

Early Friday, April 7, 30

5. Mark 14:32-42 NKJV Then they came to a place
which was named Gethsemane; and He said to
His disciples, "Sit here while I pray." (33) And
He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and
He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
(34) Then He said to them, "My soul is
exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here
and watch." (35) He went a little farther, and
fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were
possible, the hour might pass from Him.

6. Mark 14:32-42 continued (36) And He said, "Abba,
Father, all things are possible for You. Take this
cup away from Me; nevertheless, not what I
will, but what You will." (37) Then He came
and found them sleeping, and said to Peter,
"Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch
one hour? (38) Watch and pray, lest you enter
into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing,
but the flesh is weak." (39) Again He went
away and prayed, and spoke the same words.

7. Mark 14:32-42 continued (40) And when He
returned, He found them asleep again, for
their eyes were heavy; and they did not know
what to answer Him. (41) Then He came the
third time and said to them, "Are you still
sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour
has come; behold, the Son of Man is being
betrayed into the hands of sinners. (42) Rise,
let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

9. Luke 22:39 Coming out, He went to the
Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and
His disciples also followed Him.
John 18:1-2 When Jesus had spoken these
words, He went out with His disciples over
the Brook Kidron, where there was a garden,
which He and His disciples entered. (2) And
Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the
place; for Jesus often met there with His
disciples.

10. Although He routinely came here,
this time was different
He had
come to
Jerusalem to
die on the
cross, Matt.
20:18-19
Knew
Judas
had
betrayed
Him
John 13:27 NKJV
Now after the
piece of bread,
Satan entered him.
Then Jesus said to
him, "What you do,
do quickly.”

12. Mark 14:32-42 NKJV Then they came to a place
which was named Gethsemane; and He said to
His disciples, "Sit here while I pray." (33) And
He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and
He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.
(34) Then He said to them, “My soul is
exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here
and watch." (35) He went a little farther, and
fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were
possible, the hour might pass from Him.

13. Matthew 26:39 NKJV He went a
little farther and fell on His face,
and prayed, saying, "O My Father, if
it is possible, let this cup pass from
Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but
as You will.”
fell on His face

14. Mark 14:36 NKJV And He said,
“Abba, Father, all things are possible
for You. Take this cup away from
Me; nevertheless, not what I will,
but what You will.”

15. Mark 14:37-38 Then He came and
found them sleeping, and said to
Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping?
Could you not watch one hour? (38)
Watch and pray, lest you enter into
temptation. The spirit indeed is
willing, but the flesh is weak.”
one hour?

17. Matthew 26:42-44 Again, a second time, He
went away and prayed, saying, "O My
Father, if this cup cannot pass away from
Me unless I drink it, Your will be done."
(43) And He came and found them asleep
again, for their eyes were heavy. (44) So
He left them, went away again, and prayed
the third time, saying the same words.“And they did not know how
to answer Him.” (Mark 14:40)

18. Luke 22:43-44 Then an angel appeared to
Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
(44) And being in agony, He prayed
more earnestly. Then His sweat became
like great drops of blood falling down to
the ground.

19. Commonly referred to as hematidrosis or
hemohidrosis (Allen, 1967, pp. 745-747), this
condition results in the excretion of blood or blood
pigment in the sweat. Under conditions of great
emotional stress, tiny capillaries in the sweat
glands can rupture (Lumpkin, 1978), thus mixing
blood with perspiration. This condition has been
reported in extreme instances of stress (see Sutton,
1956, pp. 1393-1394). For example, a young girl who
had a terrible fear of air raids during World War I

20. developed the condition after a gas explosion
occurred in the house next door to hers (Scott,
1918). Another report details that after being
threatened by sword-bearing soldiers, a Catholic
nun “was so terrified that she bled from every part
of her body and died of hemorrhage in the sight of
her assailants” (von Grafenberg, 1585). During the
waning years of the twentieth century, 76 cases of
hematidrosis were studied and classified into
categories according to causative factors: “Acute
fear and intense mental contemplation were found

21. to be the most frequent inciting causes”
(Holoubek and Holoubek, 1996). While the extent
of blood loss generally is minimal, hematidrosis
also results in the skin becoming extremely tender
and fragile (Barbet, 1953, pp. 74-75; Lumpkin,
1978), which would have made Christ’s pending
physical insults even more painful. (Brad Harrub)

22. James 5:16 ESV Therefore, confess
your sins to one another and pray for
one another, that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous person has
great power as it is working.

23. Mark 14:41-42 NKJV Then He came
the third time and said to them, "Are
you still sleeping and resting? It is
enough! The hour has come; behold,
the Son of Man is being betrayed into
the hands of sinners. (42) Rise, let us
be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

24. 1 Peter 5:5-7 Likewise you younger people,
submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of
you be submissive to one another, and be
clothed with humility, for "GOD RESISTS
THE PROUD, BUT GIVES GRACE TO THE
HUMBLE." (6) Therefore humble yourselves
under the mighty hand of God, that He may
exalt you in due time, (7) casting all your
care upon Him, for He cares for you.

25. 1 Peter 4:7 ESV The end of all things is at
hand; therefore be self-controlled and
sober-minded for the sake of your prayers.
1 Corinthians 16:13 ESV (13) Be watchful,
stand firm in the faith, act like men, be
strong.
