The Crucifixion Of Jesus

In Gethsemane Jesus Sweated Blood, The Disciples Slept, And Judas Betrayed Jesus Christ

The garden of Gethsemane is on the Mount of Olives. In Luke 22:44 we read, “And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground”.

This is a rare condition called Haematidrosis. It is invariably caused by intense emotional agony.

Jesus’ disciples in Gethsemane were completely indifferent to Jesus’ problems, and fell asleep on three separate occasions. The disciples were asleep, whilst He was literally sweating blood, caused by the intense emotional trauma he experienced.
