And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.

Notes

Luke 22:44

His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground: The text does not say that Jesus sweated blood, as people often think. It says that his sweat fell to the ground like blood. This probably means that, in his agony, he was sweating very heavily.
