Scene 1 · Beginner
Иисус пришёл с учениками в Гефсиманию. Он попросил их подождать, пока он помолится, а Петра и двух сыновей Зеведея взял с собой. Ему было очень грустно и тревожно.
Jesus came with his disciples to Gethsemane. He asked them to wait while he prayed, but took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with him. He was very sad and anxious.
— Мне так тяжело, что я словно умираю, — сказал он им. — Останьтесь здесь со мной и не спите.
“I am so distressed that I feel as though I am dying,” he told them. “Stay here with me and keep awake.”
