JESUS IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE.—Matt. 26:38, 39.
THIRD READING.
"Not as I will, but as Thou wilt."—Matt. 26:39.
SUPPER being over, and night coming on, our Lord went out with His disciples to a garden, full of olive trees, called Gethsemane, where He often used to pray. He told them again on the way that they would soon all be afraid, and leave Him; but Peter could not think so, and said boldly that if everybody fell from Him, he never would. But Jesus answered, "Verily, I say unto thee, that this night, before the cock crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
