Listen from:
And [Jesus] took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be sorrowful and deeply depressed.
Wow! You mean Jesus, the Son of God, got depressed? He sure did. Perhaps in a different way from you and me, but nonetheless He felt deep depression because of what He was about to go through - to be forsaken of God and to be punished for our sins. So He asked for it to be taken away. Praise God, He went through with it, but for many reading this who get fits of depression, remember that Jesus understands loneliness and He sympathizes with you in a way that no one else ever could. Jesus prayed earnestly to God. You can, too.
