Luke 22:39-46
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
Jesus Waits And Prays On The Mount of Olives
39 And having gone out, He went in accordance with His custom to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples also, they followed Him. 40 And having come-to-be at the place, He said to them, “Be praying that you may not enter into temptation”. 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw. And having put down His knees, He was praying, 42 saying “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me. Yet let not My will, but Yours be done”. 43 And[a] an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him. 44 And having come-to-be in agony, He was praying more-fervently. And His sweat became like[b] drops of blood going down upon the ground. 45 And having arisen from prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them being asleep because of grief. 46 And He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Having stood-up, be praying that[c] you may not enter into temptation”.
