Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Luke 22:39-46

Luke 22:39-46. He went, as he was wont As was his custom every night; to the mount of Olives See on Matthew 26:30-32. And when he was at the place When he had entered the garden of Gethsemane; he said, Pray that ye enter not into temptation Having forewarned them of the lamentable effect which his sufferings would have upon them; that they would all stumble that very night, according to the prophecy of Zechariah, he exhorted them to pray that the temptation might not entirely prevail... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Luke 22:39-46

150. Jesus prays in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 18:1)It must have been getting towards midnight by the time Jesus and his disciples reached the Garden of Gethsemane. Then, taking Peter, James and John with him, Jesus moved to a spot where they could be alone. He was filled with anguish and horror as he saw clearly what his death would mean. The three friends could do little to lessen his anguish except stay awake in sympathy with him. He had to battle... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Luke 22:44

And being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became as it were great drops of blood falling down upon the ground.The Greek word for "drops of blood" is [@thromboi], used only here in the New Testament. "It means clots of blood"[26] and was used by the physician Luke in the same manner as was common in ancient medical works. The spiritual overtones of this were noted by Henry, thus:Sweat came in with sin, and was a branch of the curse (Genesis 3:19). When Christ was made sin and a... read more

Thomas Coke

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Luke 22:44

Luke 22:44. And his sweat was as it were great drops of blood— Some commentators have taken this expression in the metaphorical sense; fancying that as those who weep bitterly, are said to weep blood, so they may be said to sweat blood, who sweat excessively by reason of hard labour or acute pain. They explain it, "His drops of sweat were large and clammy, like drops of gore:" but others more justly affirm, that our Lord's sweat was really mixed with blood to such a degree, that its colour and... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:39-46

1. Jesus’ preparation in Gethsemane 22:39-46 (cf. Matthew 26:30, 36-46; Mark 14:26, 32-42; John 18:1)Luke organized his narrative so Jesus’ praying in the garden follows immediately His instructions to the disciples about their preparing for the crisis to come. The present pericope shows Jesus’ proper approach to it and the disciples’ improper approach. The next pericope reveals the consequences of their actions. read more

D. The arrest of Jesus 22:39-53This section in Luke’s Gospel consists of two incidents: Jesus’ preparation for His arrest and crucifixion, and the arrest itself. The subject of the whole section is proper preparation for persecution. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Luke 22:43-44

Only Luke mentioned the angel who strengthened Jesus (cf. Luke 9:26; Luke 12:8-9; Luke 15:10; Luke 16:22; Matthew 4:11; Mark 1:13). Probably he did this to help his readers realize the supernatural strength that praying brings (cf. 1 Kings 19:5-6; Daniel 10:17-18). However the angel’s presence did not remove the agony that Jesus felt as He prayed. The implication may be that the angel’s help enabled Jesus to pray more intensely and so to resist temptation more effectively. Jesus’ fervency, like... read more

(40-46) When he was at the place.—See Notes on Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-38. It is noticeable that St. Luke neither gives the name Gethsemane, nor describes it as “a garden.” It is with him simply “the place” to which our Lord was wont to resort.Pray that ye enter not into temptation.—The words are suggestive (1) as throwing light on the meaning of the “temptation” clause in the Lord’s Prayer, which the disciples were now to use in all the fulness of its meaning; (2) as indicating that our... read more
