Luke 22:35-46

Christian Standard Bible

Be Ready for Trouble

³⁵ He also said to them, “When I sent you out^(A) without money-bag, traveling bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?”

“Not a thing,” they said.

³⁶ Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a money-bag should take it, and also a traveling bag. And whoever doesn’t have a sword should sell his robe and buy one. ³⁷ For I tell you, what is written must be fulfilled in me: ^[a] And he was counted among the lawless.^[b](B) Yes, what is written about me is coming to its fulfillment.”^(C)

³⁸ “Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.”

“That is enough!” he told them.

The Prayer in the Garden

³⁹ He went out and made his way^(D) as usual^(E) to the Mount of Olives,^(F) and the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ When he reached the place,^(G) he told them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”^{(H) 41} Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,^{(I) 42} “Father, if you are willing, take this cup^(J) away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ Then an angel from heaven^(K) appeared to him, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ Being in anguish,^(L) he prayed more fervently, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.^{[c] 45} When he got up from prayer and came to the disciples, he found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief. ⁴⁶ “Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t fall into temptation.”
