Robertson Word Pictures - Luke 22:40 - 22:40

This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

At the place (epi tou topou). The place of secret prayer which was dear to Jesus.

Pray that ye enter not into temptation (proseuchesthe mē eiselthein eis peirasmon). “Keep on praying not to enter (ingressive aorist infinitive, not even once) into temptation.” It is real “temptation” here, not just “trial.” Jesus knew the power of temptation and the need of prayer. These words throw a light on the meaning of his language in Mat 6:13. Jesus repeats this warning in Luk 22:46.
