Jesus Prayed (to who?)

 BIBLE and QURAN

COMPARED!

Jesus Prayed on Gethsemane

- in all the S Gospels, yes?

✅ Matthew 26:36–46

“Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, ‘Sit here, while I go over there and pray.’”
(Read especially verses 36–39)

He fell on his face and prayed, saying:

“O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as You will.”

✅  Mark 14:32–42

“They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I pray.’”

✅  Verse 36: “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You. Take this cup away from me; nevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”

✅  Luke 22:39–46

“He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, knelt down and prayed...”

Now here’s the verse I find interesting, because of all his praying and suffering:

✅  Luke 22:44

“And being in agony, he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

✅  All the Gospels, even the Gospel of John (18:1) mention the garden of Gethsemane. John does not describe the prayers of Jesus in detail. It quickly transitions to Jesus being taken by soldiers.

Question: "Who did Jesus Pray TO?"

Did Jesus get his prayers answered?

"And he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, "O, my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me - never the less, not as I will, but as You Will."

Matthew 26:39 (KJV) 

This verse is very significant for several reasons:

1. He prays to God — not to himself.

2. He distinguishes between his will and God’s Will.

3. He asks to be saved from what’s coming (“let this cup pass from me”). This shows he did not want to die on the cross — this contradicts Paul’s statements, "Jesus came to die for sins."

4. He submits to God’s Will — perfectly in line with Islam’s meaning: submission to the Will of Almighty God (Allah).

Were Jesus prayers answered?

Islam says . . .YES!

But why would somebody pray to Jesus,

. . if he can't get his prayers answered?
