Luke 22:39-46 ▼

39 And having gone out, He went according to the custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.

40 And having come to the place, He said to them, “Pray not to enter into temptation.”

41 And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and having fallen on the knees, He was praying,

42 saying, “Father, if You are willing, take away this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours, be done.”

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

44 And having been in agony, He was praying more earnestly. And His sweat became like large drops of blood falling down upon the ground.

45 And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the grief.

46 And He said to them, “Why are you? sleeping? Having risen up, pray that you? might not enter into temptation.”
