Luke 22:39-46

The Garden of Gethsemane

39 ¹And He came out and proceeded ²as was His custom to ³the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

40 ⁴When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "⁵Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

41 And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He ⁶knelt * down * and began to pray,

42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this ⁷cup from Me; ⁸yet not My will, but Yours be done."

43 Now an ⁹angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

44 And ¹⁰being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

45 When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46 and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and ¹¹pray that you may not enter into temptation."
