'And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.'

There are sermons about this ordeal and researched scientifically that a person is possible to sweat blood and that's what happened to Jesus Christ.

Is it true?

According to The Journal of the American Medical Association: “…this is a very rare phenomenon…may occur in highly emotional states.” Bloody sweat has reportedly occurred in certain cases of extreme mental stress. Blood or elements thereof will seep through unruptured walls of blood vessels in a condition called diapedesis,

The writer, Luke, does not say that Jesus’ sweat was actually mingled with his blood. sweat. He may only have been drawing a comparison, perhaps indicating that Christ’s perspiration formed like drops of blood or describing how the dripping of Jesus’ sweat resembled a drop-by-drop flowing of blood from a wound. However, Jesus’ blood may have exuded through his skin, being mixed with his

Appreciate your take on it and at one point you're right as per scripture, thank you.

Let's not be or we're not scholars or theologians, who take an account out of context and fabricate and speculate their man version doctrine.

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ

'And being in an agony He prayed more earnestly: and His sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.'
Matthew 18:
3. And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the Kingdom of Heaven.


(In other words, after conversion ye want to become or remain as adult thinking ye're wise to interpret and add to the word of GOD, ye shall not enter into Heaven being workers of lawlessness or iniquity.)

To become as little children, this is how i understand the scripture, even the one above requoted, 'as it is written' and 'for it is written', and in context, even from scripture relatively within the Holy Bible.

So based on the scripture above to begin with, as little children i understand that Jesus' sweat was, 'as it were great drops of blood'.

For example, sometime when one incur a certain cut, one will face with great drops of blood falling to the floor/ground and the splat apparently is wide.

Therefore this was the same with Jesus' sweat, were great drops of sweat likewise and wide was the splat apparently at the same time, period

If i've added to the scripture, 'wide was the splat of His sweat falling to the ground, for that's 'tangible' to the natural outcome which i've experience myself having a certain cut one time.

Ironically, what is not 'tangible' with the scripture in context, is what scholars and theologians and followers falsely do to other scriptures, take it out of context and 'add'.

That for one , 'blood' was mingled with His sweat, even conducting scientific test and concluding there's possibilty of probable cause.

Plain heretics and thier heresies, ones who 'wrest' the scriptures and it's sound doctrine to their own destruction.

Please examine your 'self' which is easily 'deceived', since ignorantly want to be or continue as adults and unwise in the Kingdom, and not get into Heaven in the end.

Rather than wisely 'sowing' as 'little children' with the given and made 'seeds', even canonized as the 'foundation', sow 'as it is written' and 'for it is written', and 'in context'?

On the other hand, unwise on the contrary 'scatter' them and to one's destruction, period

Shalom in the name of Lord Jesus Christ
