Q&A: How did the disciples know what Jesus prayed in Gethsemane if he prayed alone?
Q&A on the epistemological basis for the Gethsemane prayer account.
Jesus went "about a stone's throw away" from the disciples — far enough to be alone but close enough that they could still hear him crying out in agony. Mike's primary answer: he was not so far away that they could not hear. Secondary possibility: Holy Spirit revelation directly to the writers, though the Gospels do not present themselves that way. The disciples' proximity (a stone's throw) likely explains how they knew what was said.
