Luke 22:39-46

39Jesus left the city. He went to the Mount of Olives. This is what he usually did. His disciples went with him.

40When they arrived there he said to them, ‘Ask God to help you, so that you do not want to do wrong things.’

41Then he went away from them about as far as you can throw a stone. He went down on his knees and he prayed,

42‘Father, if you want, you can save me from this time of great pain. But I do not ask you to do what I want. Do what you want to do.’

43Then an angel came to him from heaven. The angel made him stronger.

44Jesus began to have troubles in his mind. He prayed again even more strongly. His sweat became like blood and it fell to the ground.

45Then Jesus finished praying and he stood up again. He returned to the disciples. He saw that they were sleeping. They were very weak and tired because they were so sad.

46‘You should not be sleeping,’ he said. ‘Get up and pray! Ask God to help you, so that you do not want to do wrong things.’
