Luke 22:39-46

39And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed Him.

40When He arrived at the place [called Gethsemane], He said to them, “Pray continually that you may not fall into temptation.”

41And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,

42saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.”

43Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

44And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground.

45When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46and He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not fall into temptation.”
