Preaching in Galilee

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.

And when He had sent them away, He departed to the mountain to pray.

So He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.”

Then He taught, saying to them, “Is it not written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer for all nations’? But you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’ ”

Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.

Forgiveness and Prayer

“And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses.

who devour widows’ houses, and for a pretense make long prayers. These will receive greater condemnation.”

And pray that your flight may not be in winter.

Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is.

The Prayer in the Garden

Then they came to a place which was named Gethsemane; and He said to His disciples, “Sit here while I pray.”

He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Again He went away and prayed, and spoke the same words.
