notes:
Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called
Gethsemane and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while
I go pray yonder... My soul is exceedingly sorrowful,
even unto Death. And he went a little farther,
and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, O my father,
if it be possible, let this cup pass before me: nevertheless
not as I will, but as thou wilt.
- St. Matthew 26: 36-39
And there appeared an angel unto him from
heaven, strengthening him. And being in agony he prayed
more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops
of blood falling down to the ground.
- St. Luke 22: 43-44
