The Bible reading associated with this lesson is shown below. We have discussed sad times in class. Please do follow this up with your child. Read this text with them. They have looked at it with me.

   ^{Mark 14: 32-41}

³² They came to a plot of land called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, 'Stay here while I pray.'

³³ Then he took Peter and James and John with him.

³⁴ And he began to feel terror and anguish. And he said to them, 'My soul is sorrowful to the point of death. Wait here, and stay awake.'

³⁵ And going on a little further he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, this hour might pass him by.

³⁶ 'Abba, Father!' he said, 'For you everything is possible. Take this cup away from me. But let it be as you, not I, would have it.'

³⁷ He came back and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, 'Simon, are you asleep? Had you not the strength to stay awake for one hour?'

³⁸ Stay awake and pray not to be put to the test. The spirit is willing enough, but human nature is weak.'

³⁹ Again he went away and prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ And once more he came back and found them sleeping, their eyes were so heavy; and they could find no answer for him.

⁴¹ He came back a third time and said to them, 'You can sleep on now and have your rest. It is all over. The hour has come. Now the Son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
