This Chapter Verse Commentaries:

In an agony (en agōniāi). It was conflict, contest from agōn. An old word, but only here in the N.T. Satan pressed Jesus harder than ever before.

As it were great drops of blood (hōsei thromboi haimatos). Thick, clotted blood. An old word (thromboi) common in medical works, but here only in the N.T. This passage (Luk 22:43, Luk 22:44) is absent from some ancient documents. Aristotle speaks of a bloody sweat as does Theophrastus.
