Summary
The teacher would stand us all up and she would say, now I want everyone to bow their heads, close their eyes and then the prayer would begin. Aile Barry said that if you take all of the times that Jesus either taught about prayer, encouraged prayer was praying and you put a check mark next to them in your Bible, you would have a lot of check marks. For example, in Luke the third chapter we read, now when all the people were baptized and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was open. Example after example, after example, we see in Holy Scripture and also in our text for today, Jesus at prayer. No wonder then, our text for today tells us in verse 39, he went out, he came out and went as was his custom to the Mount of allows and the disciples. We can tell that from the parallels and the parallels also tell us that Luke's version is condensed because the other parallels tell us that Jesus raised the question of why the disciples were sleeping.
