Contextual Overview

³⁹And having gone forth, He went on, according to custom, to the Mount of Olives, and His disciples also followed Him, ⁴⁰and having come to the place, He said to them, "Pray to not enter into temptation." ⁴¹And He was withdrawn from them, as it were a stone's cast, and having fallen on the knees He was praying, ⁴²saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me, but not My will, but Yours be done." ⁴³And there appeared to Him a messenger from Heaven strengthening Him; ⁴⁴and having been in agony, He was more earnestly praying, and His sweat became, as it were, great drops of blood falling on the ground. ⁴⁵And having risen up from the prayer, having come to the disciples, He found them sleeping from the sorrow, ⁴⁶and He said to them, "Why do you sleep? Having risen, pray that you may not enter into temptation."

Gill's Notes on the Bible

And said unto them, why sleep ye?.... The Arabic version prefaces this with these words, "and he awaked them"; and then rebuked them for sleeping, adding,

rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation; together with words recorded in Matthew 26:45.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

See the Matthew 26:30-46 notes; Mark 14:26-42 notes.

Luke 22:43

Strengthening him - His human nature, to sustain the great burden that was upon his soul. Some have supposed from this that he was not divine as well as human; for if he was “God,” how could an angel give any strength or comfort? and why did not the divine nature “alone” sustain the human? But the fact that he was “divine” does not affect the case at all. It might be asked with the same propriety, If he was, as all admit, the friend of God, and beloved of God, and holy, why, if he was a mere man, did not “God” sustain him alone, without an angel’s intervening? But the objection in neither case would have any force. The “man, Christ Jesus,” was suffering. His human nature was in agony, and it is the “manner” of God to sustain the afflicted by the intervention of others; nor was there any more “unfitness” in sustaining the human nature of his Son in this manner than any other sufferer.

Luke 22:44

In an agony - See this verse explained in the notes at Matthew 26:42-44.

Luke 22:45

Sleeping for sorrow - On account of the greatness of their sorrow. See the notes at Matthew 26:40.
