Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

39

And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the Mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.

40

And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

41

And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast. And kneeling down, he prayed.

42

Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.

43

And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.

44

And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

45

And when he rose up from prayer and was come to the disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.

46

And he said to them: Why sleep you? Arise: pray: lest you enter into temptation.
