Luke 22:47
"and said to them, “Why do you sleep? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”"
Key Reflection
In Luke 22:47, Jesus urgently reminds his disciples to wake up and pray, as the hour of betrayal has arrived. This exhortation was particularly poignant given that Judas had already been identified by Jesus and would soon betray him. The original audience would have recognized this as a critical moment, underscoring the immediacy of spiritual vigilance in the face of forthcoming trials.
