Yeshua Prays at the Mount of Olives

39 And Yeshua came out and went as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him. 40 When he reached the place, He said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” 41 And He pulled back about a stone’s throw from them, got on His knees, and began to pray, 42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.”

Get up and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation.”
