The Kidron Valley
John 18: 1: “Jesus went out with his disciples across the Kidron valley to where there was a garden, into which he and his disciples entered.”
The garden of Gethsemane
Matthew 26: 26-40, 42: “Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ’sit here, while I go yonder and pray.’ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, ‘My soul is very sorrowful, even unto death; remain here, and watch with me.’ And going a little father he fell on his face and prayed, ‘My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as thou wilt.’ …Again, for the second time, he went away and prayed, ‘My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, thy will be done.’”
Luke 22:43-44: “And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like the great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.”
