English Standard Version
Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives
39 (A)And he came out and went, (B)as was his custom, to (C)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 (D)And when he came to (E)the place, he said to them, (F)“Pray that you may not (G)enter into temptation.” 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and (H)knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, (I)“Father, if you are willing, remove (J)this cup from me. (K)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” 43 And there appeared to him (L)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And (M)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.[a] 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and (N)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

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.”
