Luke 22:39-46
King James Version (KJV)
39\xa0And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him.
40\xa0And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.
41\xa0And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed,
42\xa0Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.
43\xa0And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.
44\xa0And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45\xa0And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,
46\xa0And said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation.
