Luke 22:39-46
Wycliffe Bible
39 And he went out, and went after the custom into the hill of Olives [And he gone out, went by custom into the hill of Olives]; and the disciples followed him.
40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.
41 And he was taken away from them, as much as is a stone's cast; and he kneeled, and prayed,
42 and said [saying], Father, if thou wilt, do away this cup from me; nevertheless not my will be done, but thine [nevertheless not my will, but thine be done].
43 And an angel appeared to him from heaven, and comforted him [comforting him].
44 And he was made in agony, and prayed the longer [And he made in agony, either anguish, prayed longer]; and his sweat was made as drops of blood running down into the earth.
45 And when he was risen from prayer [And when he had risen from prayer], and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for heaviness.
46 And he said to them, What sleep ye? Rise ye, and pray ye [Rise ye, and pray], that ye enter not into temptation.

New Matthew Bible
39 And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And the disciples followed him. 40 And when he came to the place, he said to them, Pray, lest you fall into temptation. 41 And he went apart by himself, about a stone’s throw from them, and kneeled down and prayed, saying, 42 Father, if you will, withdraw this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be fulfilled.
43 And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, comforting him. 44 And he was in an agony, and prayed somewhat longer. And his sweat was like drops of blood trickling down to the ground.
45 And he rose up from prayer and came to his disciples, and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and said to them, Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you fall into temptation.
