ἀγων-ία G0074
agony, intense struggle; extreme mental or spiritual anguish
Luke 22:44 describes Jesus in Gethsemane: 'being in agony' (en agōnia), he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like drops of blood. The noun originally meant athletic contest or struggle, but extended to psychological and spiritual anguish. This is Jesus's most intense moment of pre-crucifixion suffering—not physical torture yet, but the crushing weight of what lies ahead. The medical detail (hematidrosis, bloody sweat) underscores the physiological reality of extreme stress. This agony produces more fervent prayer, showing how anguish can drive us to greater dependence on God.
Sentidos
1. sense 1 — The dative indicates circumstance: 'being in agony'—the state or condition Jesus experienced in prayer. Classical usage ranges from athletic contest to mental anguish to struggle, all implying intense exertion or suffering. Luke, the physician, provides medical precision: the agony was so severe it produced hematidrosis. Spanish 'agonía,' French 'agonie,' and German 'ἀγωνίᾳ' (transliterated) all preserve the Greek term with its full emotional force. This garden agony previews the cross—Jesus experiences crushing spiritual weight before physical torture begins. 1×
