In the context of Jesus' life, this withdrawal signifies a moment of profound personal reflection and communion with the Father. It highlights the importance of solitude in spiritual practice, a theme consistent throughout Jesus' ministry. This act of withdrawing is not just physical but also spiritual, as Jesus prepares for the immense burden He is about to bear.<p><b>about a stone’s throw</b><br />This phrase is a colloquial expression used to describe a short distance. In the historical context, it suggests that Jesus was close enough to be within sight and sound of His disciples, yet far enough to be alone with God. The imagery of a "stone's throw" evokes a sense of simplicity and relatability, grounding this divine moment in the everyday experiences of the people of that time.<p><b>beyond them</b><br />The phrase "beyond them" indicates a physical separation from the disciples, emphasizing the solitary nature of Jesus' prayer. This separation is symbolic of the unique role Jesus plays as the mediator between God and humanity. It underscores the loneliness of His mission and the personal sacrifice He is about to make for the salvation of mankind.<p><b>where He knelt down</b><br />The act of kneeling is a posture of humility and submission. In the Greek, "καὶ θεὶς τὰ γόνατα" (kai theis ta gonata) reflects a deep reverence and earnestness in prayer. Kneeling is a physical manifestation of Jesus' obedience to the Father’s will, setting an example for believers to approach God with humility and reverence, especially in times of trial.<p><b>and prayed</b><br />The Greek word for "prayed" is "προσηύξατο" (prosēuxato), which denotes a continuous and earnest communication with God. This moment of prayer is pivotal, as it reveals Jesus' reliance on the Father and His commitment to fulfilling His divine mission. It serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of prayer in seeking strength and guidance, particularly when facing life's greatest challenges.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/luke/22.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(41) <span class= "bld">About a stone's cast.</span>--The descriptive touch, implying a report coming directly or indirectly from an eye-witness, is peculiar to St. Luke.<p><span class= "bld">Kneeled down, and prayed.</span>--Literally, <span class= "ital">and was praying.</span> The tense of the latter verb implies continuous and sustained prayer.<p><span class="p"><br /><br /></span><span class="versiontext"><a href="/commentaries/luke/22-41.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a></span><span class="p"><br /><br /><br /></span><a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div><span class="word">And</span><br /><span class="grk">Καὶ</span> <span class="translit">(Kai)</span><br /><span class="parse">Conjunction<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> </span><span class="str2">And, even, also, namely. </span><br /><br /><span class="word">He</span><br /><span class="grk">αὐτὸς</span> <span class="translit">(autos)</span><br /><span class="parse">Personal / Possessive Pronoun - Nominative Masculine 3rd Person Singular<br /></span><span class="str"><a href="/greek/strongs_846.htm">Strong's 846: </a> </span><span class="str2">He, she, it, they, them, same.
