Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible

Luke 22:39-47

Gethsemane (Mark 14:32 *, Matthew 26:36 *). Lk. does not mention the name of the place, and gives only one prayer of Jesus. He is evidently following some source other than Mk.

Luke 22:40. The Gr. lends some colour to the suggestion that the original words were Pray that I come not into temptation.

Luke 22:43 would be more natural in the reverse order. They are not found in the best MSS., but are very early (Justin Martyr, A.D. 150, knew their contents), and probably a fragment of genuine Gospel tradition.

Luke 22:46. for sorrow: contrast Mk. for their eyes were very heavy.
