First
Sorrowful Mystery. The Agony in the Garden. |
|
|
|
(He
then left to make his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, with
the disciples following. When he reached the place he said to
them, 'Pray not to be put to the test.' Then he withdrew from
them, about a stone's throw away, and knelt down and prayed.
'Father,' he said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from
me. Nevertheless, let your will be done, not mine.' Then an
angel appeared to him, coming from heaven to give him strength.
In his anguish he prayed even more earnestly, and his sweat fell
to the ground like great drops of blood.)

(After
this, Jesus knew that everything had now been completed and, so
that the scripture should be completely fulfilled, he said, 'I
am thirsty.' A jar full of sour wine stood there; so,
putting a sponge soaked in the wine on a hyssop stick, they held
it up to his mouth. After Jesus had taken the wine he said, 'It
is fulfilled'; and bowing his head he gave up his spirit.)
