Luke 22:39-46
Lexham English Bible

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!”
