Context of Luke 22:43
41Then 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.’ Then an angel came to him from heaven. The angel made him stronger. 44Jesus began to have troubles in his mind. He prayed again even more strongly. His sweat became like blood and it fell to the ground. 45Then Jesus finished praying and he stood up again. He returned to the disciples. He saw that they were sleeping. They were very weak and tired because they were so sad.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 43There appeared an angel - from heaven - It was as necessary that the fullest evidence should be given, not only of our Lord's Divinity, but also of his humanity: his miracles sufficiently attested the former; his hunger, weariness, and agony in the garden, as well as his death and burial, were proofs of the latter. As man, he needs the assistance of an angel to support his body, worn down by fatigue and suffering. See at the end of Luke 22:44; (note).Read the comment
- 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. 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…Read the comment
