I am the true vine, and My Father is the vinedresser. (John 15)
He was oppressed and He was afflicted, yet He opened not His mouth. (Isaiah 53)
And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling to the ground. (Luke 22)
For the life of the flesh is in the blood, and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls. (Leviticus 17)
By Thy baptism, fasting, and temptation;
by Thine agony and bloody sweat;
by Thy cross and passion;
help us, good Lord.
