Luk 22:40 | NETfull | STEP | When he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.”

Luke 22:40

40 When he came to the place, ^{▼▼ Luke does not mention Gethsemane by name, but calls it simply the place.} he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” ^{▼▼ Jesus’ instructions to pray not to fall into temptation is an allusion to Luke 22:28–38, especially 22:31. The temptation is Satan’s challenge to them to defect, like what happened to Judas and what will happen to Peter.}
