Luke 22:39-44

Holman Christian Standard Bible

The Prayer in the Garden

³⁹ He went out and made His way^(A) as usual^(B) to the Mount of Olives,^(C) and the disciples followed Him. ⁴⁰ When He reached the place,^(D) He told them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”^{(E) 41} Then He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,^{(F) 42} “Father, if You are willing, take this cup^(G) away from Me—nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done.”

[⁴³ Then an angel from heaven^(H) appeared to Him, strengthening Him. ⁴⁴ Being in anguish,^(I) He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.]^[a]
