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 Apareceu-lhe então um anjo do céu que o fortalecia.

44 Estando angustiado, ele orou ainda mais intensamente; e o seu suor era como gotas de sangue que caíam no chão.

45 Quando se levantou da oração e voltou aos discípulos, encontrou-os dormindo, dominados pela tristeza.

46 “Por que estão dormindo?”, perguntou-lhes. “Levantem-se e orem para que vocês não caiam em tentação!”

47 Enquanto ele ainda falava, apareceu uma multidão conduzida por Judas, um dos Doze. Este se aproximou de Jesus para saudá-lo com um beijo.
