¹⁷ Elijah was a human being with a nature such as we have [with feelings, affections, and a constitution like ours]; and he prayed earnestly for it not to rain, and no rain fell on the earth for three years and six months.^(A)

¹⁸ And [then] he prayed again and the heavens supplied rain and the land produced its crops [as usual].^(B)

³⁹ And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰ And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt down and prayed,

⁴² Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [^[a]always] Yours be done.

⁴³ And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great ^[b]clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.
