Luke 22:39-46
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 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.”

The Prayer in Gethsemane
39 And he went away and[a] proceeded, according to his[b] custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. 40 And when[c] he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt down[d] and[e] began to pray,[f] 42 saying, “Father, if you are willing, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.” [[43 And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. 44 And being in anguish, he began praying[g] more fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.]][h] 45 And when he[i] got up from the prayer and[j] came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and[k] pray that you will not enter into temptation!”
