Luke 22:41
39 Jesus went out as usual to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed Him.
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
42 “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.”
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
