The Garden of Gethsemane was located at the foot of the Mount of Olives, just east of Jerusalem, across the Kidron Valley (John 18:1, KJV). The name Gethsemane means "oil press," reflecting the olive groves that grew there. It was a place where Jesus often went with His disciples to pray (Luke 22:39; John 18:2, KJV). On the night before His crucifixion, Jesus prayed in deep anguish, submitting Himself to the Father's will, saying, "Not my will, but thine, be done" (Luke 22:42, KJV). It was also in Gethsemane that Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus with a kiss, leading to His arrest (Matthew 26:47–50, KJV). The Garden of Gethsemane stands as a powerful reminder of Christ's obedience, sacrifice, and unwavering submission to the will of God.
