When Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, he did so with his face to the ground (Matthew 26:39). [1] On the other hand, in John 11:41 and 17:1, he looked upwards as he prayed. R. A.

Michael Licona suggests that John has redacted Jesus' authentic statements as recorded in Matthew, Mark and Luke.
