Bible Question: Me and my wife were reading Luke 22:44 . It says "his sweat was as blood"in the NKJV it says "became like blood."So my wife asked did His sweat turn into blood or just similar to it? I say it was blood. Any help will be great ! |
Bible Answer: Blessings to you!! Some time ago i was reading about Christ's crucifixion, and being in nursing school, i was interested in the medical aspects of it. I found a website that explains your questions. The address is http://www.maranathabaptist.org/easter/crucify.htm In it, Dr. Truman Davis states: "It is interesting that Luke, the physician, is the only one to mention [the bloody sweat]. Every trick possible has been used by modern scholars to explain away this description, apparently under the mistaken impression that this just doesn't happen. A great deal of effort could have been saved had the doubters consulted the medical literature. Though very rare, the phenomenon of Hematidrosis, or bloody sweat, is well documented. Under great emotional stress of the kind our Lord suffered, tiny capillaries in the sweat glands can break, thus mixing blood with sweat. This process might well have produced marked weakness and possible shock." I hope this helps to futher your understanding of the subject and of the love of our Savior. Grace and peace! |
