When he came to the mount of Olives, he first setteth his disciples to that work, which at this day was proper for them. Pray that ye enter not into temptation; that, if it be the will of God, you may be delivered from such an hour of trial as I am entering into; or, at least, that you may not be overcome by it. That my trials which you will presently be witnesses unto, and your own which you shall hereafter meet with, may have no power upon you to withdraw you from your work in the publication or profession of my gospel. The other two evangelists make mention of our Saviour's taking Peter, and James, and John with him, yet more privately. Luke mentions not that, but goeth on.
