Jesus in Agony in the Garden
|
 |
 |
41 He withdrew about a
stone's throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed, 42
"Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my
will, but yours be done." 43 An angel
from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him. 44
And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was
like drops of blood falling to the ground.
Luke 22:41-44
