As salaamu 'alaikym, my friend.
Your question is not whether the Prophet Essa (peace be upon him) prayed but which Gospel account is correct as the differ and often contradict one another.
If one looks at this situation from a historical outlook or point of view, it is easy to see how the gospels have been corrupted and twisted throughout the years so as to make the accepted church fit into and with society instead of making society fit into and with the truth of the gospels.
Insha'allah, if you are really looking for the truth regarding the Prophet Essa (peace be upon him) I would refer you to the Holy Qur'an.
Ma'a salaam.

These two verses do not contradict at all. In fact, they complement one another. In John, Jesus is reflecting on perhaps what He asked God for in Matthew, Mark and Luke's accounts.. However, in John He answers His own questions by admitting that He did indeed come into the world for the purpose of the crucifixion.

You ignored the greater perfect critique, in my opinion - how do they understand what Jesus prayed if he replaced into on my own in Gethsemane and the apostles on the gate fell asleep? Jesus replaced right into a man or woman and worked out his expertise over the direction of his existence and normally might have had an identical appropriate problems with discernment that all of us have. I assure the 25 year old chippie Jesus in Galilee replaced into nevertheless perplexed approximately his id. they only did no longer write that down as a results of fact a mangod has to shoot lightning from his fingertips in the different case how do you compete with Mithras and Apollo? however the prepoderance of the info, after all the severe historic interpreting has had its day continues to be that he believed he replaced into dying for all humanity and that it replaced into his activity from God, and that he replaced into the Son of God. You the two have faith it or you do no longer. looking a element or 2 right here and there that tell distinctive, especially situations conflicting, variations of an identical tale does not do away with the plot altogether. Watch Charlie and the Chocolate production unit and watch Willy Wonka and the Chocolate production unit, the two interpretations of Dahl's e book. you will desire to declare, "Veruca can no longer have the two needed a experienced squirrel AND a golden goose, so Willy Wonka would not have been a chocolate maker!!!!!" yet you does not as a results of fact might violate very straightforward stanndards of psychological integrity. Why throw it out the window whilst that is handy? If the standard tale is a lie, why place self assurance in nitpicking to criticize? basically decide for the gold and sit down down.

Jesus prayed to The Father for comfort and encouragement.
Jesus said I and the Father are one. While Jesus is completely God he is also completely human. Was he frightened? Yes. Did he ever get hungry, lonely, tired? Was he ever happy, witty, enthusiastic? Are you?
The whole point of "the Word became Flesh and lived among us" is God saying to us I understand how you feel because I have felt the same. Come to me.
IF there was another way for mankind's salvation God would have done it. It broke The Father's heart to see his son tortured, humiliated, and killed.
Jesus to Pontius Pilate: "My kingdom is not of this world. If it were my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jews. But now my kingdom is from another place. You are right in saying I am a king. In fact, for this reason I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.everyone on the side of truth listens to me."

It looks like they missed that inconsistency when they canonized the bible or King James messed up when he interrupted the bible.
There is no way to really know for sure but I take Yes, because 3 out of 4 versions say He did!

Yes he pray to God and God the Father accepted his prayer and saved him and took him the heavens. He will return from there somewhere in future. And govern this world justly for 40 years as per Islamic teaching.

He prayed "if" there was another way, let the cup pass. There was no other way.
While he was on the cross, the meanings of one of David's mournful psalms took on fresh meaning. Words that David meant personally and figuratively became prophetic and literal for the Son of David, Jesus.
For instance, the legs of the other crucified men were broken to hasten their death. But Jesus had already died, so his legs were intact. "I can count all my bones."

You have put 'yes' to one set of verses and 'no' to another verse - as if they have such a clear cut meaning. They do not. They all ask a question and then concede the answer - that he came into this world to be crucified, which was not necessarily to Christs' liking (the human will) but God's will.

yes, he prayed to God to take away the crucifixion because Jesus has also the instinct of human being although He is a son of God but He is also a human that feels hurt and pain that is why He prayed for it.

God the Father saved him anyway : )
“That they rejected faith: that they uttered against Mary a grave false charge. That they said (in boast) "We killed Christ Jesus the son of Mary the Apostle of Allah"; but they killed him not nor crucified him but so it was made to appear to them and those who differ therein are full of doubts with no (certain) knowledge but only conjecture to follow for of a surety they killed him not. Nay Allah raised him up unto Himself; and Allah is Exalted in Power Wise. And there is none of the People of the Book but must believe in him before his death; and on the Day of Judgment He will be a witness against them.”
Chapter 4, Verses 156-159
