Luke 22:35-45

Listen to Luke 22:35-45

35 Then He asked them, "When I sent you out without purse or bag or shoes, was there anything you needed?" "No, nothing," they replied.

36 "But now," said He, "let the one who has a purse take it, and he who has a bag must do the same. And let him who has no sword sell his outer garment and buy one.

37 For I tell you that those words of Scripture must yet find their fulfilment in me: `And He was reckoned among the lawless'; for indeed that saying about me has its accomplishment."

38 "Master, here are two swords," they exclaimed. "That is enough," He replied.

39 On going out, He proceeded as usual to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples followed Him.

40 But when He arrived at the place, He said to them, "Pray that you may not come into temptation."

41 But He Himself withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and prayed repeatedly, saying,

42 "Father, if it be Thy will, take this cup away from me; yet not my will but Thine be done!"

43 And there appeared to Him an angel from Heaven, strengthening Him;

44 while He--an agony of distress having come upon Him--prayed all the more with intense earnestness, and His sweat became like clots of blood dropping on the ground.

45 When He rose from his prayer and came to His disciples, He found them sleeping for sorrow.
