Context — The Agony in the Gardengenerated
Luke 22:46 finds Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane, where He has gone to pray before His impending crucifixion. He returns to find His disciples asleep, exhausted from sorrow. Jesus uses this moment to teach them about the importance of vigilance and prayer in the face of temptation, just as He has been doing in His own time of distress.

The Key Wordgenerated
The word πειρασμός (*peirasmos*) is a masculine noun meaning 'temptation' or 'trial.' It refers to a situation that tests faith or character. The context here highlights the spiritual challenge the disciples face as they confront the impending crisis of Jesus' arrest.
In this verse, the emphasis on temptation indicates the need for prayerful readiness. The parsing as an accusative singular masculine noun shows it is the object of the action, suggesting that entering into temptation is a serious concern for the disciples.
How Translations Differ — measured against the Berean Standard Biblegenerated
The verse is rendered in the Berean Standard Bible as: “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.” The KJV and ASV similarly convey the urgency of Jesus' message, though with slight variations in phrasing.
Where the translations differ is in the rendering of the Greek words. For instance, εἶπεν is translated as 'He said' in some versions like the BBE and 'said' in others like the ASV and KJV. The phrase καθεὕδετε is rendered as 'are you sleeping?' in the BSB but simply as 'sleep' in the KJV and ASV.
Sentence Structuregenerated
The main verb of the verse is εἶπεν, He said, which governs the entire sentence. It introduces a question and a command, creating a structure that emphasizes Jesus' call to action.
The sentence can be broken down into a main clause with the subject being the implied 'He' (Jesus) and a series of phrases that detail what He is saying and commanding. The infinitive phrases describe the actions He expects from His disciples.
Septuagint Backgroundgenerated
πειρασμός is not directly found in the Septuagint, but it relates to the Hebrew word for testing, which appears in various contexts throughout the Old Testament, indicating trials of faith.
The concept of temptation is present in the LXX, particularly in references to testing one's faith and character, as seen in passages like Deuteronomy 8:2.
In plain words — the whole versegenerated
Luke 22:46 shows Jesus asking His disciples why they are sleeping and instructing them to get up and pray. He emphasizes the importance of prayer to avoid falling into temptation.
Frequently Asked Questionsgenerated
Jesus is warning His disciples about the dangers of spiritual lethargy and the need for prayer to stay strong against trials that may challenge their faith.
The disciples were exhausted and overwhelmed with sorrow, which led them to fall asleep during a critical moment of prayer.
This verse reminds us of the importance of staying spiritually alert and committed to prayer, especially during difficult times.
Praying helps us to remain vigilant and connected to God, providing strength to resist situations that may lead us away from our faith.
Reflection Questionsgenerated
- In what areas of my life do I feel spiritually lethargic, and how can I address this?
- How can I incorporate more prayer into my daily routine to strengthen my faith?
- What are some specific temptations I face, and how can prayer help me resist them?
- How can I support others in my community to remain vigilant and prayerful?

Were ye so unable to watch with me a single hour?” Matthew 26:40; Mark 14:37. The second time He does not seem to have spoken to them. The third time He knew that it was too late. The object of their watching had now ceased, for He heard the tramp of men in the distance, and saw the glare of their torches; and therefore it was with a tender irony that He said, ‘Sleep on now and take your rest’ (as far as any help which you can render to Me is concerned), but ‘Rise, let us be going,’ for now sleep will be alike impossible to us all.

The earliest translations — Latin and Syriac
Every translation is an argument about meaning made by someone who had to commit to one. These two were made while the Greek was still a living language, and they are the oldest opinions we have about what this verse says.
Et ait illis : Quid dormitis ? surgite, orate, ne intretis in tentationem.
Jerome revised the Old Latin against the Greek from AD 382; the Latin west read this text for a thousand years.

καί (kai) is a conjunction meaning 'and,' used to connect words, phrases, and clauses. It serves various functions, including copulative and adjunctive uses, and can express cumulative ideas like 'also' or 'even.' The New Testament frequently employs it to link terms and sentences, as seen in verses like Matthew 2:18 and John 10:3. Abbott-Smith notes its use in both simple and complex structures, while Thayer emphasizes its role as the most common particle in the New Testament.

In dealing with synonyms of the N. T. we plainly need not concern ourselves with such earlier, or even contemporary, uses of the words which we are discriminating, as lie altogether outside of the N. T. sphere, when these uses do not illustrate, and have not affected, their Scriptural employment. It follows from this that all those contemptuous uses of λαλεῖν as to talk at random, as one ἀθυρόστομος, or with no door to his lips, might do; of λαλιά, as chatter («Kpacia λόγου ἄλογος, Plato, Defin. 416)—for I cannot believe that we are to find this at John iv. 42—may be dismissed and set aside. The antithesis in the line of Eupolis (Meineke, /ragm. Com. Gr. p. 174), Λαλεῖν ἄριστος, ἀδυνατώτατος λέγειν, does little or nothing to illustrate the matter in hand. The distinction which indeed exists between the words may in this way be made clear. There are two leading aspects under which speech…

αὐτός is a pronoun meaning 'self' or 'the same,' used to emphasize distinction or opposition. It can function as a reflexive pronoun and appears frequently in the New Testament, often in contexts that highlight contrast or identity, such as in Luke 5:37 and John 2:25. The entries indicate that it can also be used in various grammatical constructions, including with articles to denote sameness.

It is used by the bibl. writ. both of the O. T. and of the N.

τίς is an interrogative pronoun meaning 'who,' 'which,' or 'what,' used in both direct and indirect questions. It can function as a substantive, adjective, or adverb, appearing in various contexts throughout the New Testament, such as in Matthew 3:7 and John 18:23. The neuter form τί also means 'what' or 'which.' There are instances where τίς may be used interchangeably with other pronouns like ποῖος.

The Greek word καθεύδω (*katheudo*) means 'to sleep' and can refer to both literal and metaphorical states of sleep. It appears in various contexts in the New Testament, including references to physical sleep (e.g., Matthew 8:24) and spiritual sloth (e.g., Ephesians 5:14). The term is also used metaphorically to denote death (1 Thessalonians 5:10). It is synonymous with κοιμάω.

The Greek word ἀνίστημι (*anistēmi*) is built from the components meaning 'up' and 'to stand.' It covers a range of meanings including to raise up, to cause to rise from sleep or death, and to set up or establish. In the New Testament, it is used in contexts such as raising the dead (John 6:39) and causing someone to stand (Acts 9:41).
ἀν-ίστημι : fut. ἀναστήσω; 1 aor. ἀνέστησα: 2 aor. ἀνἔστην, impy. ἀνάστηθι and (Acts xii. 7; Eph. v. 14 and L WH tat. in Acts ix. 11) ἀνάστα (W. § 14, 1h.; [B. 47 (40)]); Mid., pres. ἀνίσταμαι: fut. ἀναστήσομαι; [fr. Hom. down]; I. Transitively, in the pres. 1 aor. and fut. act., to cause to rise, raise up, (Dp); a. prop. of one lying down: Actsix.41. b. toraise up from death: Jn. vi. 39 sq. 44, 54; Acts ii. 32; xiii. 34, (so in Grk. writ.). ο. to raise up, cause to be born:
ἀνίστημι. P Amh II. 684 (late i/a.p.) has ἀρούρας . . . ὑπὸ ἀμφοτέρων τῶν πρὸς χρείαις διὰ τῶν λόγων ἀνασταθείσας = ‘‘reported” or the like. The transitive tenses are common in the sense of ‘‘setting up” a statue; cf. P Oxy IV. 70725 (c. A.D. 136) ἀνασ[τῆ]σαί τε τὰς τοῦ κτήματος Kal πωμαρίου πλάτας ἐπὶ μέτροις, ‘that he should restore on a certain scale the walls (?) of the vineyard and orchard” (Edd.), BGU II. 362%%4 (A.D. 215) (= Chrest. 1. p. 127) εἰς ὑπηρεσίαν τοῦ ἀναστίαθ]έντος θείου κ[ολοσ]σιαίου ἀνδριάντος. The formula became so common for setting up a gravestone that ἀνέστησα alone, with accus. of person buried, became current in E. Phrygia and Lycaonia (Ramsay C. and B., ii. p. 732). P Oxy VIII. 1161® (Christian letter, iv/A.D.) μὴ δυναμένη ἀναστῆναι ἐκ τῆς κοίτης pov, will serve as an instance of the intransitive use. One very interesting passage is added by a restoration of…

The Greek word ἵνα is primarily a conjunction meaning 'in order that' or 'that,' indicating purpose or intention. It can also function as an adverb of place, meaning 'where' or 'whither.' In the New Testament, it appears in various contexts, often introducing clauses that express purpose, such as in Matthew 1:22. The lexicons do not show significant disagreement on its meanings or usages.
ἵνα, I. an adv. of Place. fr. Hom. down, esp. in the poets; a. where; in what place. b. to what place; whither. Of the former signification C. F. A. Fritzsche (on Mt. p. 836; differently in Fritzschiorum Opusce. p. 186 sqq-.) thought he had found two examples in bibl. Greek, and H. A. W. Meyer agrees with him. The first viz. iva μὴ φυσιοῦσθε, 1 Co. iv. 6, they explain thus: where (i. e. in which state of things viz. when ye have leatned from my example to think humbly of yourselves) the one is not exalted to the other’s disadvantage; the second, iva αὐτοὺς ζηλοῦτε, Gal. iv. 17, thus: where ye zealously court them; but see II. 1 d. below. “ iva I. a final Conjunction (for from local direction, indicated by the adverb, the transition was easy te mental direction or intention) denoting pur pose and end: to the intent that; to the end that, in order that; ἵνα pn, that not, lest; it is used…

μή (mē) is a Greek negative particle used to express subjective negation, often in conditional or hypothetical contexts. It contrasts with οὐ (ou), which indicates absolute denial. μή can function as an adverb meaning 'not' or as a conjunction meaning 'lest.' It appears in various grammatical constructions, including prohibitions and deliberative questions, and is referenced in verses like Matthew 5:29 and John 3:18.
μή,
subjective negative particle,
used where the negation depends on a condition or hypothesis, expressed or understood, as distinct from οὐ, which denies absolutely. μή is used where one thinks a thing is not, as distinct from an absolute negation. As a general rule, οὐ negatives the indic., μή the other moods, incl, ptcp. [In LXX for אֵין, אַיִן, אַל.]
As a neg. adv., not;
with ref. to thought or opinion: Jo 3:18, Tit 1:11, II Pe 1:9.
μή, Sept. for Ox, |X, PN, ἃ particle of negation, which differs from οὐ (which is always an adverb) in that ov denies the thing itself (orto speak technically, denies simply, absolutely, categorically, directly, objectively). but μή denies the thought of the thing, or the thing according to the judgment, opinion, will, purpose, preference, of some one (hence, as we say technically, indirectly, hypothetically, subjectively). This distinction holds also of the compounds οὐδείς, μηδείς, οὐκέτι, μηκέτι, ete.

εἰς is a preposition meaning 'into' or 'to,' used with the accusative case. It indicates direction, entrance, or limit, applicable to place, time, and figurative purposes. The New Testament frequently employs it to express movement toward locations or states, as seen in passages like Matthew 8:23. It can also denote relationships or results, such as 'for' or 'among.'

πειρασμός is a masculine noun meaning trial or temptation, derived from πειράζω. It encompasses both ethical testing, which can be good or evil, and the solicitation to sin. The New Testament uses it in various contexts, including the testing of faith (James 1:12) and the temptation of Jesus (Luke 4:13). There is some debate among lexicographers about its specific implications in different contexts.

Temptation
(1.) Trial; a being put to the test. Thus God “tempted [Gen. 22: 1; R.V., ‘did prove’] Abraham;” and afflictions are said to tempt, i.e., to try, men (James 1:2, 12; comp. Deut. 8:2), putting their faith and patience to the test. (2.) Ordinarily, however, the word means solicitation to that which is evil, and hence Satan is called “the tempter” (Matt. 4:3). Our Lord was in this way tempted in the wilderness. That temptation was not internal, but by a real, active, subtle being. It was not self-sought. It was submitted to as an act of obedience on his part. “Christ was led, driven. An unseen personal force bore him a certain violence is implied in the words” (Matt.…
