MATTHEW 26:36 — KING JAMES VERSION 0
“Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder.”
Then Jesus came with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples: sit here, while I go over there and pray. Gethsemane — the olive garden on the Mount of Olives — is the setting of Jesus' prayer before the arrest. The disciples who are told to sit while Jesus prays are the outer ring of the group; the inner three (Peter, James, and John) are taken further in verse 37.
