Luke 22:39-46

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 fall 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] 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.”

Jesus in prayer
39 Jesus left and made his way to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and the disciples followed him. 40 When he arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you won’t give in to temptation.” 41 He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed. 42 He said, “Father, if it’s your will, take this cup of suffering away from me. However, not my will but your will must be done.” 43 Then a heavenly angel appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 He was in anguish and prayed even more earnestly. His sweat became like drops of blood falling on the ground. 45 When he got up from praying, he went to the disciples. He found them asleep, overcome by grief. 46 He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray so that you won’t give in to temptation.”
