Did satan mentally torment Jesus in the garden?

It doesn’t say in the Gospel, but I’ve read that Jesus saw all the sins of humanity and satan was there or something to kind of “taunt” Jesus.

Is that from a pious private revelation somewhere?

I ask because I’m tired of having all these negative thoughts, anxieties, worries, fears, etc (from the devil?) and want to offer them up as suffering united to Jesus in the garden.

(Either that or in union with the hidden suffering of the Holy Family in Egypt.)
 
The revelations of St. Bridget of Sweden say that Jesus during his passion saw humanity’s sins and suffered from his awareness of the reprobates who would be damned for their sins despite his sacrifice on the cross. The parts i have read do not mention the devil being there taunting Jesus although I have not read the whole thing and also I’m sure the devil was present influencing all the humans who did mock and taunt him from the Agony in the Garden up through His death.

Having said that, you can offer up any kind of suffering united to Jesus in the Garden or during His passion.
Any kind at all. That’s what Jesus wants you to do, join your suffering to his.

God bless.
