22 ΚΑΤΑ ΛΟΥΚΑΝ Luke Reference
39καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ ἐθος εἰς τὸ ὀρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν· ἠκολούθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταί. THEN HE WENT OUT and made his way as usual to the Mount of Olives, accompanied by the disciples.The Prayer on the Mount of Olives Lk.22.39-46 | Mt.26.36-46 | Mk.14.32-42
40γενόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Προσεύχεσθε μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς πειρασμόν. When he reached the place he said to them, 'Pray that you may be spared the hour of testing.' 
41καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπ' αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λίθου βολήν, καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα προσηύχετο He himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, knelt down, and began to pray: 
42λέγων, Πάτερ, εἰ βούλει παρένεγκε τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ἀπ' ἐμοῦ· πλὴν μὴ τὸ θέλημά μου ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν γινέσθω. 'Father, if it be thy will, take this cup away from me. Yet not my will but thine be done.'
 
43[[ὠφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἀγγελος ἀπ' οὐρανοῦ ἐνισχύων αὐτόν. And now there appeared to him an angel from heaven bringing him strength, 
44καὶ γενόμενος ἐν ἀγωνίᾳ ἐκτενέστερον προσηύχετο· καὶ ἐγένετο ὁ ἱδρὼς αὐτοῦ ὡσεὶ θρόμβοι αἱματος καταβαίνοντες ἐπὶ τὴν γῆν.]] and in anguish of spirit he prayed the more urgently; and his sweat was like clots of blood falling to the ground. 
45καὶ ἀναστὰς ἀπὸ τῆς προσευχῆς ἐλθὼν πρὸς τοὺς μαθητὰς εὗρεν κοιμωμένους αὐτοὺς ἀπὸ τῆς λύπης, When he rose from prayer and came to the disciples he found them asleep, worn out by grief. 
46καὶ εἶπεν αὐτοῖς, Τί καθεύδετὲ ἀναστάντες προσεύχεσθε, ἵνα μὴ εἰσέλθητε εἰς πειρασμόν. 'Why are you sleeping?' he said. 'Rise and pray that you may be spared the test.'
