Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 22:46

"and said unto them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation." — Luke 22:46 (ASV)

And said to them, Why do you sleep? Rise and pray, lest you enter into temptation.

The great trial for them, as well as for their Lord, was close at hand then. It was late at night, and they were drowsy and sleepy; yet no time is amiss for supplication. Prayer is never out of season, and never unnecessary. We never know when temptation is near, so let us pray without ceasing to him who is able to preserve us from temptation, or to deliver us out of it.
