THE AGONY IN THE GARDEN OF GETHSEMANE

Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 18:1

In St Luke’s account Matthew 26:43-44 are peculiar to his Gospel. The use of ἀγωνία (ἅπαξ λεγ. in N.T.) by the same Evangelist has given the title to this passage.

St Luke also relates that ‘there appeared an angel unto him from heaven, strengthening him.’ There is, however, some reason for doubting the genuineness of these verses.
