Gethsemane, Church of the Nations

The stone where Jesus sweated blood:"And he came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done. And there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.". (Lk 22:39-44).

La pietra su cui Gesù sudò sangue:"Uscito se ne andò, come al solito, al monte degli Ulivi; anche i discepoli lo seguirono. Giunto sul luogo, disse loro: «Pregate, per non entrare in tentazione». Poi si allontanò da loro quasi un tiro di sasso e, inginocchiatosi, pregava: «Padre, se vuoi, allontana da me questo calice! Tuttavia non sia fatta la mia, ma la tua volontà». Gli apparve allora un angelo dal cielo a confortarlo. Ed essendo in agonia, egli pregava ancor più intensamente; e il suo sudore diventò come grosse gocce di sangue che cadevano in terra".(Lc 22:39-44).
