Luke Study Notes—Chapter 22

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 22:40
  
  Carry on prayer: Or “Keep praying.” This exhortation, apparently recorded by Luke alone, seems to be addressed to the 11 faithful apostles. (Compare the parallel account at Mt 26:36, 37.) A second, similar exhortation is recorded at Lu 22:46, which parallels Mt 26:41 and Mr 14:38. The second exhortation was addressed only to the three disciples who accompanied Jesus when he was praying in the garden. (Mt 26:37-39; Mr 14:33-35) The fact that Luke mentions both exhortations (Lu 22:40, 46) is an example of how his Gospel emphasizes the matter of prayer. Several instances in which Luke alone mentions the subject of prayer or of Jesus’ praying are Lu 3:21; 5:16; 6:12; 9:18, 28; 11:1; 23:46.
