Answered in 1 source

The Gospel of Luke records Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane, demonstrating His reliance on God.

The account of Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane is found in Luke 22:39-46, where it is recorded that Jesus knelt down and prayed fervently before His impending crucifixion. This passage highlights His human nature as He struggles with the weight of the sins of the world that He was about to bear. The phrase, 'Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me; nevertheless not my will, but yours, be done,' illustrates His deep submission to the Father’s will. It's a profound example of how Jesus, though fully divine, relied on prayer in His human experience, affirming the necessity of prayer for strength and guidance in challenging times.
