Gethsemane | Scripture Story Sketch Notes | Printable PDF

A hand-drawn, doodle-style study of the Savior’s prayer in Gethsemane, drawn reverently with the Savior shown only as light, built around the words: “not my will, but thine, be done” (Luke 22:42).

Follow a numbered map through the story slowly and reverently, then look closer at the details. Context, Greek words and the words of prophets help, while the focus stays on the Savior.

What's Inside

• Cover with a numbered map and a contents list
• The story in brief: a short retelling, who’s who, where and when, and what to watch for
• The story, plainly: four scenes, “Look to Him” notes, the hard King James words explained, and a draw-and-write page
• Look closer: nine cards on the olive press, the place He often prayed, a stone’s cast, the cup, the strengthening angel, succor, sleeping disciples, the healed ear and “I partook and finished”
• Where are you today? I feel alone; I am tired; praying for something to pass; carrying something heavy, with check-ins
• Watch with Him: read Luke 22:39–51 slowly. Fill in each line, then write one way you will remember Gethsemane this week.
• Their world, their words: a garden with an oil press; a place He often prayed; heaven sent help; only He could do it; and two Greek words
• Look to Him: what prophets have taught, with more scriptures to read
• Seek Him today: a question to ask yourself, a seven-day tracker, talk-about questions and verses to hold
• Go deeper: summaries and links for adult and deeper study
• Sources: every quotation and gloss cited with links (scripture first, then Church sources, then labeled outside sources)
