From the sky a beam of light falls on the praying Jesus. He is supported by an angel. In the foreground his followers are sound asleep. It is late at night, after the Last Supper. Jesus knows what is about to happen. Here in the Garden of Gethsemane he prays "take away this cup from me". From the right, soldiers with torches approach the Garden. They are on their way to arrest Jesus. |
