Context of Luke 22:43
41And he was withdrawn from them about a stone's throw, and having knelt down he prayed, 42saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: — but then, not my will, but thine be done. And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him. 44And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth. 45And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief.

It was a part of his humiliation that he was thus…Read the comment
