place called Gethsemane, and said
to the disciples, “Sit here while I go
and pray over there.”

the two sons of Zebedee, and He 
began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.

Stay here and watch with Me.”

And the Lord was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.

ISAIAH 63:10

But they rebelled and grieved His Holy Spirit; So He turned Himself against them as an enemy, And He fought against them.

MARK 3: 1-6,

1 And He entered the synagogue again, and a man was there who had a withered hand.

² So they watched Him closely, whether He would heal him on the Sabbath, so that they might accuse Him.

³ And He said to the man who had the withered hand, “Step forward.”

⁴ Then He said to them, “Is it lawful on the Sabbath to do good or to do evil, to save life or to kill?” But they kept silent.

⁵ And when He had looked around at them with anger, being grieved by the hardness of their hearts, He said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” And he stretched it out, and his hand was restored as whole as the other.

⁶ Then the Pharisees went out and immediately plotted with the Herodians against Him, how they might destroy Him.

And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption.
