  Gethsemane - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Gethsemane (also spelled Gethsemani) was the garden where, according to the New Testament and Christian traditions, Jesus watched and prayed the night before he was crucified and suffered for the sins of the world (see Atonement).
According to Luke 22:43–44, Jesus' anguish in Gethsemane was so deep that "his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground." Gethsemane was also where Christ was betrayed by the disciple Judas Iscariot.
The garden identified as Gethsemane is located at the foot of the Mount of Olives, now within the city of Jerusalem.

For Latter-day Saints, Gethsemane was the scene of Jesus' greatest agony, even surpassing that which he suffered on the cross, an understanding supported by Mark's description of Jesus' experience (Mark 14:33-39).
The evidence for Jesus' extreme agony in Gethsemane is buttressed by a prophecy in the
Ezra Taft Benson wrote that "it was in Gethsemane that Jesus took on Himself the sins of the world, in Gethsemane that His pain was equivalent to the cumulative burden of all men, in Gethsemane that He descended below all things so that all could repent and come to Him" (Benson, p.

 Gethsemane
Gethsemane is the place on the Mount of Olives near Jerusalem where Jesus Christ was betrayed by Judas Iscariot and arrested while praying with his disciples after the Last Supper.
Gethsemane, oil-press, the name of an olive-yard at the foot of the Mount of Olives, to which Jesus was wont to retire (Luke 22:39) with his disciples, and which is specially memorable as being the scene of his agony (Mark 14:32; John 18:1; Luke 22:44).
It may have been that it led through the building with the 'oil-press,' and that the eight Apostles, who were not to come nearer to the 'Bush burning, but not consumed,' were left there.

The cave at the foot of the Mt. of Olives may have been the place of the "olive press" to which the name Gethsemane refers (in Hebrew gat shmanim, "press of oils").
Although John does not mention the name, he tells us that the place across the Kidron Valley was one where Jesus and the disciples often met (18:2); they would have needed shelter, then, such as this cave provided.

They were not sufficiently advanced in grace to be admitted to behold the mysteries of “the agony.” Occupied with the Passover feast at their own houses, they represent the many who live upon the letter, but are mere babes and sucklings as to the spirit of the gospel.
The walls of Gethsemane fitly typify that weakness in grace which effectually shuts in the deeper marvels of communion from the gaze of ordinary believers.

Nevertheless, it is the cup of Gethsemane that gives us more than a glimpse into the enormity and heinousness of human sin.
However, the wounds in the soul of Christ were but a portion of the cup that confronted Him in Gethsemane.
The sin of atheism, of idolatry, of profanity, of Sabbath breaking, of disobedience to parents, of murder, of adultery, of stealing, of bearing false witness, and of covetousness - your sins and mine - they were all in the cup that confronted Jesus in Gethsemane.
