Luke 22:39-40

Context
On the Mount of Olives

22:39 Then 1  Jesus 2  went out and made his way, 3  as he customarily did, to the Mount of Olives, 4  and the disciples followed him. 22:40 When he came to the place, 5  he said to them, “Pray that you will not fall into temptation.” 6 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

3 tn Grk “went.”

4 sn See the note on the Mount of Olives in Luke 19:29.

5 sn Luke does not mention Gethsemane by name, but calls it simply the place.

6 sn 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.
