Context of Luke 22:42
40When 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, “Father, if it is your will, take this cup ⌞of suffering⌟ away from me. However, your will must be done, not mine.” 43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44So he prayed very hard in anguish. His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
