39 Jesus left and as usual went to the Mount of Olives together with his disciples. 40 When he arrived he said to them, "Pray that you don’t give in to temptation." 41 Then he left them and walked about a stone’s throw away, where he kneeled down and prayed.
42 "Father," he prayed, "if you’re willing, please take away this cup of suffering from me. But I want to do what you want, not what I want." 43 Then an angel appeared from heaven to strengthen him.
44 In great distress Jesus prayed even harder, and his sweat fell like drops of blood onto the ground.22:44. The authenticity of verses 43 and 44 are disputed. Manuscript evidence is divided. 45 He finished praying, stood up, and went over to the disciples. He found them asleep, worn out by grief. 46 "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray so that you won’t fall into temptation."
