Jesus Prays Alone

^39-40 Jesus left the city and went to the Mount of Olives. His followers went with him. (Jesus went there often.) He said to his followers, “Pray for strength against temptation.”

⁴¹ Then Jesus went about a stone’s throw away from them. He kneeled down and prayed, ⁴² “Father, if it is what you want, then let me not have this cup^[a] of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want.”
