Luke 22:44

PrayerSufferingFear

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.

And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45 When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow.

46 “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.”
