“And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine,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 “We do not know, we cannot tell, no mortal mind can conceive the full import of what Christ did in Gethsemane. We know he suffered, both body and spirit, more than it is possible for man to suffer. We know that in some way, incomprehensible to us, his suffering satisfied the demands of justice, ransomed penitent souls from the pains and penalties of sin, and heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly.” (Luke 22:41-44) made mercy available to those who believe in his holy name.” (Bruce R. McConkie, “The Purifying Power of Gethsemane,” Ensign, May 1985)
