rwp@Luke:22:44 @{In an agony} (\en agnii\). It was conflict, contest from \agn\. An old word, but only here in the N.T. Satan pressed Jesus harder than ever before. {As it were great drops of blood} (\hsei thromboi haimatos\). Thick, clotted blood. An old word (\thromboi\) common in medical works, but here only in the N.T. This passage (verses 43,44|) is absent from some ancient documents. Aristotle speaks of a bloody sweat as does Theophrastus.
