Jesus Prays to Be Glorified
John 17:1 After Jesus said this, he looked toward
heaven and prayed: “Father, the hour has
come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may
glorify you. 2 For you granted him authority
over all people that he might give eternal
life to all those you have given him. 3 Now
this is eternal life: that they know you, the
only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom
you have sent.4 I have brought you
glory on earth by finishing the work you
gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify
me in your presence with the glory I had
with you before the world began.

you gave me.

you gave me, that they may be one as we
are one— 23 I in them and you in me—so

unity. Then the world will know that you

Jesus Prays on the Mount of
Olives (NIV)
Luke 22:39 Jesus went out as
usual to the Mount of
Olives, and his disciples
followed him. 40 On reaching
the place, he said to
them, “Pray that you will not fall
into temptation.” 41 He withdrew
about a stone’s throw beyond
them, knelt down and
prayed, 42 “Father, if you are
willing, take this cup from me;
yet not my will, but yours be
done.” 43 An angel from heaven
appeared to him and
strengthened him. 44 And being
in anguish, he prayed more
earnestly, and his sweat was
like drops of blood falling to the
ground.[c]
45
When he rose from prayer
and went back to the disciples,
he found them asleep,
exhausted from sorrow. 46 “Why
are you sleeping?” he asked
them. “Get up and pray so that
you will not fall into temptation.”
Matt 26: 35 MARK 14: 31

disown you.” And all the other with you, I will never disown you.”
