Open this scene in the reader →39And going out, he went as was his custom to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him.
40When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and kneeling down, he was praying.
42saying, “Father, if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours be done.”
43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.
44And being in agony, he was praying more intensely; and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45And after rising from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow.
46And he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation.”
