Mount of Olives
Jesus went to the Mount of Olives, as usual, and his disciples followed him. He asked them to pray not to give in to temptation, then moved away from them and knelt down to pray.
- Asking God if he would take this cup away from him. Jesus prayed earnestly until an angel from heaven appeared and comforted him in his anguish.
Despite his strength, Jesus' prayer became more and more urgent, and his sweat dripped to the ground like drops of blood. After a while, he got up again and returned to his disciples, only to find that they had fallen asleep despite the gravity of their situation.
- This demonstrates the power of Jesus' prayer. He rebuked them for sleeping, reminding them to pray not to give in to temptation.
God bless you all!
