Context of Luke 22:40

38“Lord,” they said, “look, here are two swords.” “That is enough!” he told them. 39He went out and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. When he reached the place, he told them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.” 41Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray, 42“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me — nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”
