Gesù è arrivato con i suoi discepoli in un luogo chiamato Getsemani. «Sedetevi qui, mentre io vado là a pregare», ha detto loro.
Jesus arrived with his disciples at a place called Gethsemane. “Sit here while I go over there to pray,” he told them.
Ha portato con sé Pietro e i due figli di Zebedeo. Una profonda tristezza e una forte angoscia hanno cominciato a pesargli sul cuore.
He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. A deep sadness and great distress began to weigh on his heart.
«Provo una tristezza così grande da sentirmi morire», ha detto Gesù. «Rimanete qui e restate svegli con me».
“I feel such deep sorrow that I feel as if I am dying,” Jesus said. “Stay here and keep watch with me.”
