Luke 22:39-46

On the Mount of Olives

³⁹Then Jesus went out and made his way, as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” ⁴¹He went away from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed, ⁴²“Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but yours be done.” ⁴³[Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. ⁴⁴And in his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.] ⁴⁵When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted from grief. ⁴⁶So he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!”
