The prayer at Mount Olives (Luke 22:35 -46)
Answer Text: The prayer at Mount Olives (Luke 22:35 -46)After celebrating the last supper, Jesus then left the house and went into the mount Olives with the disciples following him.He asked his disciples to pray so that they would not be led into temptations. And he withdrew from them and knelt down and prayed saying, “Father, if thou art wiling remove this cup from me, nevertheless not my will, but thine be done” (Lk: 22:42).The “cup” referred to his suffering. Jesus was in extreme suffering that his sweat was like drops of blood.His prayer to God whom he addresses as father was meant to strengthen him for his coming mission. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. Jesus again asked them to pray.
