Luke 22:43: "When [Christ] arrived at the [Mount of Olives], He said to [his disciples], ‘Pray that you may not enter into temptation.’ And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and began to pray, saying, ‘Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but Yours be done.’ Now an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him."

Verse 44 then reads:

Luke 22:44: "And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground."

Just what manner of help did the angel offer Christ?
