Gill's Notes on the Bible
And when he rose from prayer,.... The Syriac version reads, "from his prayer", having finished it; and the Persic and Ethiopic versions read, "from the place of prayer", or where he prayed:
and was come to his disciples; to the three, which he had left about the distance of a stone's cast:
he found them sleeping for sorrow; on his account; for he had signified unto them, how exceeding sorrowful he was; and they might perceive by his looks and gestures, the anxiety and distress of mind he was in, which must needs affect them; and besides, he had given them some intimations of his being to be betrayed by one of them, and of his sufferings and death, and speedy departure from them; and because of these things, sorrow had filled their hearts, and this had induced heaviness and sleep upon them; :-.
Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the Matthew 26:30-46 notes; Mark 14:26-42 notes.
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, the friend of God, and beloved of God, and holy, why, if he was a mere man, did not “God†sustain him alone, without an angel’s intervening? But the objection in neither case would have any force. The “man, Christ Jesus,†was suffering. His human nature was in agony, and it is the “manner†of God to sustain the afflicted by the intervention of others; nor was there any more “unfitness†in sustaining the human nature of his Son in this manner than any other sufferer.
Luke 22:44
In an agony - See this verse explained in the notes at Matthew 26:42-44.
Luke 22:45
Sleeping for sorrow - On account of the greatness of their sorrow. See the notes at Matthew 26:40.
