Why does my Bible say something different?
- Luke 22:43–44: the angel and the sweat like drops of blood
In Gethsemane an angel strengthens Christ, and in his agony his sweat falls “as it were great drops of blood.” These two verses are missing from some of the most important early manuscripts but are present in others, and they were quoted by St Justin and St Irenaeus in the second century. The Orthodox Church reads them as part of Luke. Scholars are divided on whether Luke wrote them.
