Scene 1 · Intermediate
Ο Ιησούς έφτασε με τους μαθητές του στη Γεθσημανή. Τους ζήτησε να καθίσουν εκεί, όσο εκείνος θα πήγαινε λίγο πιο πέρα να προσευχηθεί. Πήρε μαζί του τον Πέτρο και τους δύο γιους του Ζεβεδαίου. Τον κυρίευσαν θλίψη και μεγάλη αγωνία.
Jesus arrived with his disciples at Gethsemane. He asked them to sit there while he went a little farther to pray. He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. He was overcome with sorrow and great anguish.
«Η ψυχή μου είναι τόσο λυπημένη, που νιώθω να πεθαίνω», τους είπε. «Μείνετε εδώ και μείνετε ξύπνιοι μαζί μου».
“My soul is so sorrowful that I feel as if I am dying,” he told them. “Stay here and stay awake with me.”
