This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

About a stone’s throw (hōsei lithou bolēn). Accusative of extent of space. Luke does not tell of leaving eight disciples by the entrance to Gethsemane nor about taking Peter, James, and John further in with him.

Kneeled down (theis ta gonata). Second aorist active participle from tithēmi. Mar 14:35 says “fell on the ground” and Mat 26:39 “fell on his face.” All could be true at different moments.

Prayed (prosēucheto). Imperfect middle, was praying, kept on praying.
