Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39 o And he came out and went, p as was his custom, to q the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. 40 r And when he came to s the place, he said to them, t "Pray that you may not u enter into temptation." 41 And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and v knelt down and prayed, 42 saying, w "Father, if you are willing, remove x this cup from me. y Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done." 43 And there appeared to him z an angel from heaven, strengthening him. 44 And w being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground. 1 45 And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, 46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Rise and a pray that you may not enter into temptation."
