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[fn] more fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.〛[fn] 45 And when he[fn] got up from the prayerand[fn] came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow, 46 and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and[fn] pray that you will not enter into temptation!”
