Show the model answer
(a) Jesus went a little further, fell on His face and prayed for the cup to pass, yet "not as I will, but as thou wilt" (Matthew 26:39).
He found the disciples sleeping and told them to watch and pray (Matthew 26:40-41).
He prayed a second and third time, "thy will be done" (Matthew 26:42-44).
He said the hour was at hand and His betrayer was near (Matthew 26:45-46).
Judas came with a crowd with swords and clubs and kissed Him; they seized Him (Matthew 26:47-50).
A disciple cut off the ear of the high priest's servant; Jesus told him to put away his sword (Matthew 26:51-54).
Jesus asked why they came as against a robber; the scriptures must be fulfilled (Matthew 26:55-56).
All the disciples forsook Him and fled; He was led to Caiaphas (Matthew 26:56-57).
(b) Any two: praying with them; visiting and encouraging them; giving material help; counselling; listening.
Narrate Matthew 26:39-57, then two ways.
