The Gospel According to Luke

Prayer in the garden
22 39After this Jesus left to go as usual to Mount Olives and the disciples followed him. 40When he came to the place, he told them: 
—Pray that you may not be put to the test.
41Then he went a little further, about a stone’s throw, and kneeling down he prayed: 
42—Father, if it is your will, remove this cup from me; still not my will but yours be done. 
43And an angel from heaven appeared to give him strength.
44As he was in agony, he prayed even more earnestly and great drops of blood formed like sweat and fell to the ground. 45When he rose from prayer, he went to his disciples but found them worn out with grief, and asleep. 46And he said to them: 
—Why do you sleep? Get up and pray, so that you may not be put to the test.
