The Gospel of Luke tells us that, shortly before his arrest, Jesus went to the Garden of Gethsemane to pray: “Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done.” The artists here depict the next moment, when “an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him” (Luke 22:42-43).
