Following the Last Supper, Jesus and the apostles retreat to Gethsemane (an olive grove) on the Mount of Olives. While his disciples rest, Christ prays alone, asking God if it is possible to let his sufferings pass him by, yet reaffirming his commitment to submit to God\u2019s will. Luke writes that an angel comes to strengthen him, though in his anguish Jesus sweats blood, a graphic detail that, unusually, Tissot omits.

While Luke\u2019s account says that Christ receives comfort from the angel, Tissot\u2019s image seems to promise little solace and, indeed, is profoundly different in tone from the earlier watercolor The Angels Came and Ministered to Him. While one angel holds a chalice\u2014the cup of Jesus\u2019 suffering\u2014the others proffer globes with scenes of the Passion to come, including Veronica\u2019s veil, the Crucifixion, and the lamentation of the Virgin Mary.

After his tormented prayer to God, Jesus comes back to his apostles, only to find them asleep (note that Peter\u2019s weapons are cast to one side). Awakening his followers, he rebukes them, urges their vigilance against temptation, and returns to his prayers.
