A Garden Called Gethsemane

Mobirise

Jesus climed up the Mount od Olives with his friends, until they came to a garden called Gethsemane. 
As they walked, Jesus spoke to them, " This very night, you will all run away and leave me."
"I would never do that!" protested Peter.
"Before the cocks crows," said Jesus, " You will say three times that you do not know me."

Even if I have to die, I will never say that!" cried Pter. The other discipled agreed.
At Gethsemane, Jesus took Peter, James and John with him, leaving the rest to wait outside.

"My heart is full of sadness," said Jesus. "I must go and pray. Stay here and keep watch." He went a little further and knelt to pray.

"Father," Jesus prayed, " If it is possibe, save me from this death, but only it is your will."

Then he went back to Peter, James and John and found them fast asleep. He woke them up and asked them again to keep watch. This time, Jesus went deeper into the orchard to pray. Twice more he came back to the 3 disciples. only to find them asleep again. 

As he woke them for the third time, Jesus heard the sound of voices and saw the light of torches coming nearer. The temple gurads and the chief priests were heading towards Jesus, They had come to arrest him- Judas was leading them.

"The man you want, is the man I kiss," Said Judas to the guards quickly closed around Jesus, but he did not resist. Peter drew his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest's servant.
"That's enough!" said Jesus and he reached out and healed the man's war. Then, he turned to the priests and guards.

"Why have you come armed with sowrd, as if I were a criminal?" he asked. But the priests and guards marched him off into the night, without a word. Then, all of Jesus' friends ran away, just as Jesus had said they would.
