What it depicts

Matthew 26:36-56Opened by a notation lookup, not by an editor. Iconclass 73D31 glosses this subject as “Gethsemane, Mount of Olives, 'Oelberg' (Matthew 26:36-56; Mark 14:32-52; Luke 22:39-53; John 18:1-12)”, and this library reads the Douay-Rheims, where the passage stands at Matthew 26:36-56. Iconclass states 4 references for this subject; the first one this corpus holds is used. Named the Agony in the Garden by Abe Garcia, 2026-09-07. Three place names, one of them German, is a finding aid rather than a title.

36Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.

37And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.

38Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.

39And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

40And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?

41Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.

42Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.

43And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.

44And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.

45Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.

47As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.

48And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.

49And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.

50And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.

51And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

52Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?

54How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?

55In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.

56Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.
