Jesus Prays on the Mount of Olives

³⁹^(A)And he came out and went, ^(B)as was his custom, to ^(C)the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him. ⁴⁰^(D)And when he came to ^(E)the place, he said to them, ^(F)“Pray that you may not ^(G)enter into temptation.” ⁴¹And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and ^(H)knelt down and prayed, ⁴²saying, ^(I)“Father, if you are willing, remove ^(J)this cup from me. ^(K)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” ⁴³And there appeared to him ^(L)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴And ^(M)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^[a] ⁴⁵And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and ^(N)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Proverbs 23:1-18

English Standard Version

23 When you sit down to eat with a ruler,
    observe carefully what^[a] is before you,
²and put a knife to your throat
    if you are given to appetite.
³^(A)Do not desire his delicacies,
    for they are deceptive food.
⁴^(B)Do not toil to acquire wealth;
    ^(C)be discerning enough to desist.
⁵When your eyes light on it, it is gone,
    ^(D)for suddenly it sprouts wings,
    flying like an eagle toward heaven.
⁶^(E)Do not eat the bread of a man who is ^(F)stingy;^[b]
    ^(G)do not desire his delicacies,
⁷for he is like one who is inwardly calculating.^[c]
    “Eat and drink!” he says to you,
    but his ^(H)heart is not with you.
⁸You will vomit up the morsels that you have eaten,
    and waste your pleasant words.
⁹Do not speak in the hearing of a fool,
    for he will despise the good sense of your words.
¹⁰^(I)Do not move an ancient landmark
    or enter the fields of the fatherless,
¹¹for their ^(J)Redeemer is strong;
    he will ^(K)plead their cause against you.
¹²Apply your heart to instruction
    and your ear to words of knowledge.
¹³Do not withhold ^(L)discipline from a child;
    ^(M)if you strike him with a rod, he will not die.
¹⁴If you strike him with the rod,
    you will ^(N)save his soul from Sheol.
¹⁵^(O)My son, if your heart is wise,
    my heart too will be glad.
¹⁶My ^(P)inmost being^[d] will exult
    when your lips speak ^(Q)what is right.
¹⁷Let not your heart ^(R)envy sinners,
    but continue in ^(S)the fear of the Lord all the day.
¹⁸Surely ^(T)there is a future,
    and your ^(U)hope will not be cut off.
