AMPLIFIED 2015 | Luke 22:44 And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground. [Heb 5:7] |
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: Good question. Luke was a physician and so something like this would certainly have been of great interest to him. Indeed, modern medical science now knows that there is an medical condition, caused by extreme psychological distress, which can lead to one's blood passing through the sweat glands. It is known as hematidrosis. Knowing that he was to die the death of a disgraced criminal, he would surely have been worried about any reproach on his Father's name. |
