'Prayed' in the Bible

And as he prayed the fashion of his countenance became different and his raiment white and effulgent.

The Pharisee, standing, prayed thus to himself: God, I thank thee that I am not as the rest of men, rapacious, unjust, adulterers, or even as this tax-gatherer.

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed,

And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth.
