(a) Jesus went a little further, fell on His face and prayed, "My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt" (Matthew 26:39).
He found the disciples sleeping and said to Peter, "Could you not watch with me one hour? Watch and pray" (Matthew 26:40-41).
He prayed a second time, "thy will be done" (Matthew 26:42).
He found them sleeping again, and prayed a third time (Matthew 26:43-44).
He said, "the hour is at hand… my betrayer is at hand" (Matthew 26:45-46).
Judas came with a crowd with swords and clubs and kissed Him; they seized Him (Matthew 26:47-50).
One disciple cut off the high priest's servant's ear; Jesus told him to put up his sword (Matthew 26:51-54).
All the disciples forsook Him and fled; He was led to Caiaphas (Matthew 26:56-57).
(b) Any two: praying with and for them; visiting and encouraging them; giving material help; counselling; listening and being present.
Narrate Matthew 26:39-57, then two ways.
