Did Jesus pray?
The biography of Jesus as expressed in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and John in the New Testament Bible depict Jesus as praying often. He was a man given to prayer. He prayed often. He gave much time to pray. He prayed early in the morning and late at night. Sometimes He prayed all night long such as when He was in the Garden of Gethsemane with His disciples before His crucifixion.

Jesus prayed alone and with His disciples, but always directly to His heavenly Father.

In the biography of Jesus seen in John’s Gospel in the New Testament, we can read about Jesus praying to God the Father. Click here.

Before going to the cross, Jesus prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane. His disciples were with Him but the fell asleep. According to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, "…he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as You will'" (Matthew 26:39 NKJV).
Jesus even prayed when He was on the cross: “Father forgiven them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

To whom did Jesus pray?
Jesus prayed directly to His heavenly Father. He prayed anywhere—whether outdoors on a hill, or in a boat. Anywhere. He prayed often. Sometimes He prayed all night or rose up early in the morning to pray.

Jesus prayed talking to His Father as a boy talks to His dad. We see this in His long prayer in the Gospel of John, chapter 17 where He talks plainly and simply to His heavenly Father.

Jesus taught His disciples to pray beginning, “Our Father in Heaven…” He wants those who know Him to talk directly to the heavenly Father as He did.

Why did Jesus pray?

Jesus prayed so that His heart would be yielded (surrendered) to God the Father. He prayed to align His will with the will of His Father. He prayed for God to show Him the twelve disciples He should choose. He prayed for them and for each person who would come to know Him.

Jesus prayed to remain obedient to His Father’s will, to remain surrendered as a lamb.

Jesus prayed for people to be healed, resurrected, for the deliverance of people possessed by demons.

In the New Testament, we see that Jesus prayed continually to be in contact with His Father, to receive comfort and direction from His Father and to ask for the Father to forgive the sins of mankind. See the following verses:

According to the Gospel of Matthew in the New Testament, "…he went a little further, and fell on his face, and prayed, saying, 'O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will but as You will'" (Matthew 26:39 NKJV).

Jesus even prayed when He was on the cross: “Father forgiven them, they don’t know what they are doing.”

Where was Jesus buried?

Jesus was buried in a tomb hewn (carved) out of a rock outside of Jerusalem. This tomb belonged to Joseph of Arimathea (a Jewish city where Joseph was a council member). According to the New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 23, verse 53, no one had ever used this tomb before. Joseph of Arimathea gave this tomb specifically for the burial of Jesus.

Who buried Jesus?

Joseph, a council member from Arimathea, and the converted Pharisee, Nicodemus, buried the body of Jesus. They asked permission of Pilate who had the power to grant them their desire to bury Jesus. This is seen in the New Testament Gospel of Luke (Luke 23:50 – 52). But the enormous stone that covered the tomb and sealed it off was placed there by Roman guards.

Who guarded Jesus tomb?

A group of Roman guards were assigned by Pilate to watch the tomb where Jesus had been laid. They watched it diligently, taking turns to sleep so that there were always several guards or soldiers watching the tomb at any time. (They were extra diligent in this matter for fear someone would steal Jesus’s body—particularly since He had prophesied that He would rise from the dead).

Did Jesus have any children?
Jesus had no children. He was not married, nor did he have relations with a woman. He did not have sexual relations or encounters of any nature. This is seen in the scriptures of the New Testament and supported by History, ancient scrolls and documents.

Jesus did have – and does have – spiritual children. Those who give their heart to Jesus are His children. Those who invite Him into their lives become His children. They become the children of God the Father and Jesus and His Father are one.

There are fiction stories and films that have been fabricated to make it look as if Jesus was secretly married. These stories claim to be fiction. And Historical facts prove them to be fiction. They have no foundation in truth at all. Clearly, all documents, historical narrations, ancient scrolls and scriptures prove that Jesus lived as a single man.

There were females in His life that took care of Him – probably doing His sowing and cooking for Him from time to time. We see this in the New Testament Gospel of Luke, chapter 8, verse 3. The women “ministered to Jesus.” But He was never married. He spent much of His time alone in prayer or with His 12 disciples of with other people.
