The Garden of Gethsemane for Kids: Bible Story & Printables
The story in a nutshell
Jesus came with His disciples "unto a place called Gethsemane," took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee with Him, went a little further, fell on His face and prayed, "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt." He came and found the disciples asleep and told Peter, "Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation," and He prayed the second time and the third time. Then He said, "Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me."
