Luke 22:41 In-Context

39 Καὶ ἐξελθὼν ἐπορεύθη κατὰ τὸ ἔθος εἰς τὸ Ὄρος τῶν Ἐλαιῶν · ἠκολούθησαν δὲ αὐτῷ καὶ οἱ μαθηταί.

40 γενόμενος δὲ ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπου εἶπεν αὐτοῖς · Προσεύχεσθε μὴ εἰσελθεῖν εἰς πειρασμόν.

41 καὶ αὐτὸς ἀπεσπάσθη ἀπ’ αὐτῶν ὡσεὶ λίθου βολήν, καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα προσηύχετο

42 λέγων · Πάτερ, εἰ βούλει παρένεγκε τοῦτο τὸ ποτήριον ⸃ ἀπ’ ἐμοῦ · πλὴν μὴ τὸ θέλημά μου ἀλλὰ τὸ σὸν γινέσθω.

43 ὤφθη δὲ αὐτῷ ἄγγελος ἀπ’ οὐρανοῦ ἐνισχύων αὐτόν.
