    The scene represents the last prayer of Jesus before the Passion. According to the Gospel of Luke (22:43-44[1]) Jesus prayed in a farm known as Gethsemane on the Mount of Olives, and received consolation from an angel afterward, before the betrayal of Judas and his arrest. This event can be considered as the first true Passion of Jesus.
