Garden of Gethsemane
Where Jesus prayed the night before his betrayal — his sweat like drops of blood.
First mentioned in the Bible
But he was in such agony that he kept praying more earnestly;and his sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground.— Luke 22:44
Background
Gethsemane means 'oil press,' at the western foot of the Mount of Olives. After the Passover supper, Jesus prayed in agony here, his sweat like drops of blood: 'Not my will, but thine, be done.' Then Judas betrayed him with a kiss.
