Context of Luke 22:40

38The disciples said, “Lord, look! Here are two swords!” Then Jesus said to them, “That’s enough!” 39Jesus went out ⌞of the city⌟ to the Mount of Olives as he usually did. His disciples followed him. When he arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you won’t be tempted.” 41Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, 42“Father, if it is your will, take this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ away from me. However, your will must be done, not mine.”
