Y cuando se levant� de la oraci�n, y vino a sus discípulos, los hall� durmiendo a causa de la tristeza;

John Gill's Bible Commentary

Ver. 45. And when he rose from prayer , etc.] The Syriac version reads, �from his prayer�, having finished it; and the Persic and Ethiopic versions read, �from the place of prayer�, or where he prayed: and was come to his disciples ; to the three, which he had left about the distance of a stone's cast: he found them sleeping for sorrow ; on his account; for he had signified unto them, how exceeding sorrowful he was; and they might perceive by his looks and gestures, the anxiety and distress of mind he was in, which must needs affect them; and besides, he had given them some intimations of his being to be betrayed by one of them, and of his sufferings and death, and speedy departure from them; and because of these things, sorrow had filled their hearts, and this had induced heaviness and sleep upon them; (see Gill on � Matthew 26:40�).

Matthew Henry Commentary

Verses 39-46 - Every description which the evangelists give of the state of mind in which our Lord entered upon this conflict, proves the tremendous natur of the assault, and the perfect foreknowledge of its terrors possesse by the meek and lowly Jesus. Here are three things not in the othe evangelists. 1. When Christ was in his agony, there appeared to him a angel from heaven, strengthening him. It was a part of his humiliatio that he was thus strengthened by a ministering spirit. 2. Being in agony, he prayed more earnestly. Prayer, though never out of season, is in a special manner seasonable when we are in an agony. 3. In thi agony his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down. Thi showed the travail of his soul. We should pray also to be enabled to resist unto the shedding of our blood, striving against sin, if eve called to it. When next you dwell in imagination upon the delights of some favourite sin, think of its effects as you behold them here! Se its fearful effects in the garden of Gethsemane, and desire, by the help of God, deeply to hate and to forsake that enemy, to ranso sinners from whom the Redeemer prayed, agonized, and bled.

Robertson's NT Word Studies

22:45 {Sleeping for sorrow} (koimwmenous apo tes lupes). Luke does not tell of the three turnings of Jesus to the trusted three for human sympathy.
