Agony in Garden. The Agony in the Garden of Gethsemane was an event in the life of Jesus from the New Testament, between the Farewell Discourse at the conclusion of the Last Supper and Jesus' arrest.
According to all four Gospels, immediately after the Last Supper, Jesus took a walk to pray. Each Gospel offers a slightly different account regarding narrative details.
The gospels of Matthew and Mark identify this place of prayer as Gethsemane. Jesus was accompanied by three Apostles: Peter, John and James, whom he asked to stay awake and pray.
He moved a stone's throw away from them, where he felt overwhelming sadness and anguish, and said My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass Me by. Nevertheless, let it be as You, not I, would have it. Then, a little while later, he said, If this cup cannot pass by, but I must drink it, Your will be done!. He said this prayer thrice, checking on the three apostles between each prayer and finding them asleep.
He commented: The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak. An angel came from heaven to strengthen him. During his agony as he prayed, His sweat was, as it were, great drops of blood falling down upon the ground. At the conclusion of the narrative, Jesus accepts that the hour has come for him to be betrayed. In Roman Catholic tradition, the Agony in the Garden is the first Sorrowful Mystery of the Rosary and the First Station of the Scriptural Wa
