Context of Luke 22:41

39Jesus left the city. He went to the Mount of Olives. This is what he usually did. His disciples went with him. 40When they arrived there he said to them, ‘Ask God to help you, so that you do not want to do wrong things.’ Then he went away from them about as far as you can throw a stone. He went down on his knees and he prayed, 42‘Father, if you want, you can save me from this time of great pain. But I do not ask you to do what I want. Do what you want to do.’ 43Then an angel came to him from heaven. The angel made him stronger.

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 39-46Verses 39-46 See the Luke 22:43 Strengthening him - His human nature, to sustain the great burden that was upon his soul.
