Commentary

Commentary on Luke 22:44

Theological / Devotional

Agony. Lor the nature of this agony see on Matt. 26:38.

Drops. Gr. thromboi, “thick drops,” or “clots.” Lor references to historical instances of persons whose pores have exuded a bloody sweat see International Critical Commentary, on Luke 22:44.

Though important textual evidence may be cited (cf. p. 146) for omitting vs. 43, 44, the weight of evidence favors retaining them.
