41And 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.”
43Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him.
44And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.
45When 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.”

Illustration of Luke 22:39-46 NLT

Illustration of Luke 22:39-46 NLT -- Then, accompanied by the disciples, Jesus left the upstairs room and went as usual to the Mount of Olives. There he told them, "Pray that you will not give in to temptation." He walked away, about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed, "Father, if you are willing, please take this cup of suffering away from me. Yet I want your will to be done, not mine." Then an angel from heaven appeared and strengthened him. He prayed more fervently, and he was in such agony of spirit that his sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. At last he stood up again and returned to the disciples, only to find them asleep, exhausted from grief. "Why are you sleeping?" he asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you will not give in to temptation."
