LUKE—NOTE ON Luke 22:40 when he came to the place. Luke assumes his readers knew that “the place” was the garden of Gethsemane. Pray that you may not enter into temptation. The temptation was to give in to physical sleep (see vv. Luke 22:45) and thus fail in their responsibility to support Jesus. It may point also to the temptation to deny Jesus when he is led away to the cross (see vv. Luke 22:54).
