Faith, Prayer, and Betrayal in the Garden (Mark 14:32–52)

Daytona Gregory Season 3 Episode 48

In Gethsemane, Jesus wrestles in deep distress yet ultimately submits to the Father’s will. His disciples, however, fail to stay awake and pray. Judas arrives with a crowd to arrest Jesus, and the disciples flee in fear. Even a young man escapes by slipping out of his garment. The episode contrasts Jesus’s faithful obedience with human weakness, showing that He willingly walks the path to the cross for our salvation.
