Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

Luke 22

39 And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him. 40 And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation. 41 And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw and knelt down and prayed, 42 Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [ 1 always] Yours be done. 43 And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit. 44 And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great 2 clots of blood dropping down upon the ground. 45 And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief, 46 And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation.
