Pastor Matt continues walking us through the book of John! In Gethsemane, Jesus asked his disciples to wait while he prayed, taking Peter, James, and John with him for support. Expressing deep distress, he asked them to stay awake with him. In prayer, Jesus pleaded with God to let the coming suffering pass if possible, yet submitted to God’s will. He prayed this three times but found the disciples asleep each time. Finally, he told them to get up, for his betrayer was near. In John’s Gospel, there is no mention of Jesus agonizing in the garden before his arrest.
