Context of Luke 22:45
43Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and gave him strength. 44So he prayed very hard in anguish. His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. When Jesus ended his prayer, he got up and went to the disciples. He found them asleep and overcome with sadness. 46He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up, and pray that you won’t be tempted.” 47While he was still speaking to the disciples, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus to kiss him.

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?
