Context of Luke 22:45

43Then 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. Then 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. 46‘You should not be sleeping,’ he said. ‘Get up and pray! Ask God to help you, so that you do not want to do wrong things.’ 47While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd of people came towards him. Judas led the crowd to that place. He was one of the 12 apostles. He came near to Jesus to kiss him.

• 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.
