Luke 22:39-44

Christian Standard Bible

The Prayer in the Garden

³⁹ He went out and made his way^(A) as usual^(B) to the Mount of Olives,^(C) and the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰ When he reached the place,^(D) he told them, “Pray that you may not fall into temptation.”^{(E) 41} Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and began to pray,^{(F) 42} “Father, if you are willing, take this cup^(G) away from me—nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

⁴³ Then an angel from heaven^(H) appeared to him, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ Being in anguish,^(I) he prayed more fervently, and his sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.^[a]
