The pain Jesus feels is all-encompassing. It is the beginning of an act of sacrifice that will reach its ultimate conclusion the next day on the cross at Golgotha. There in the Garden, He begins the process of taking upon Himself the sins of the world. Despite their Master asking them to stay awake with Him, the exhausted disciples fall asleep. Alone, Jesus begins to pray and is soon overcome with an incomprehensible agony. His Apostles have come such a long way since they first encountered Jesus, and yet His words show that He knows their transformation into true disciples is just beginning.Īfter what is often referred to as the Last Supper, Jesus bids His Apostles to follow Him through the night to a quiet garden named Gethsemane. And, knowing that His time with them will soon end, He tells them He loves them. He teaches them of the comforting power of the Holy Ghost.
He institutes the sacred ordinance of the sacrament, in which His disciples are invited to eat and drink in remembrance of Him. Jesus observes the sacred holiday of Passover with His Apostles.
