Jesus arrived in Gethsemane with his disciples. He asked them to sit while he went farther away to pray. Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him, he began to feel deep sadness and great anguish.
« Mon âme est triste à en mourir, leur a-t-il confié. Restez ici et veillez avec moi. »
“My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow, even to the point of death,” he told them. “Stay here and keep watch with me.”
