God's Word Translation

Luke 22:40-45 God's Word Translation (GW)

40. When he arrived, he said to them, “Pray that you won’t be tempted.”

41. Then he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, knelt down, and prayed,

42. “Father, if it is your will, take this cup ⌊of suffering⌋ away from me. However, your will must be done, not mine.”

43. Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength.

44. So he prayed very hard in anguish. His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

45. When Jesus ended his prayer, he got up and went to the disciples. He found them asleep and overcome with sadness.
