Lucas 22:45 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 22:45

And when he rose from prayer
The Syriac version reads, "from his prayer", having finished it; and the Persic and Ethiopic versions read, "from the place of prayer", or where he prayed: and was come to his disciples;
to the three, which he had left about the distance of a stone's cast: he found them sleeping for sorrow;
on his account; for he had signified unto them, how exceeding sorrowful he was; and they might perceive by his looks and gestures, the anxiety and distress of mind he was in, which must needs affect them; and besides, he had given them some intimations of his being to be betrayed by one of them, and of his sufferings and death, and speedy departure from them; and because of these things, sorrow had filled their hearts, and this had induced heaviness and sleep upon them; (See Gill on Matthew 26:40).

Lucas 22:45 In-Context

43 Então lhe apareceu um anjo do céu, que o confortava.
44 E, posto em agonia, orava mais intensamente; e o seu suor tornou-se como grandes gotas de sangue, que caíam sobre o chão.
45 Depois, levantando-se da oração, veio para os seus discípulos, e achou-os dormindo de tristeza;
46 e disse-lhes: Por que estais dormindo? Lenvantai-vos, e orai, para que não entreis em tentação.
47 E estando ele ainda a falar, eis que surgiu uma multidão; e aquele que se chamava Judas, um dos doze, ia adiante dela, e chegou-se a Jesus para o beijar.
