Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 Then Jesus went out and made his way to the Mount of Olives, as was his custom, and [fn]his disciples followed him. 40 When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.” 41 Then he withdrew from them about a stone's throw away and knelt down and prayed, 42 “Father, if yoʋ are [fn]willing to take this cup away from me, do so; nevertheless, not my will, but yoʋrs be done.” 43 [fn]Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44 Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. 45 When he rose from prayer and came to [fn]the disciples, he found them sleeping because of their sorrow. 46 So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.”
