Luke 22:42
40 When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.”
41 And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed,
“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.
44 And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
