Agony in the Garden

He
withdrew from them, about a stone's throw away, and knelt down and prayed.
'Father,' He said, 'if you are willing, take this cup away from me. Nevertheless,
let your will be done, not mine.' Then an angel appeared to Him, coming
from heaven to give Him strength. In His anguish He prayed even more earnestly,
and His sweat fell to the ground like great drops of blood. (Lk 22:41-44)

Crucifixion

Seeing

Head he gave up his spirit. (Jn 19:26-27,30)
