Welcome to part two with Dr. Daniel Bellnamp, Luke chapter 22 and John 18.

In Luke, so he doesn't divide him up the same way as Matthew does into the different discrete groups,

but notice that the first instruction that he gives in this element of the tonic process is verse 40.

When we get to the place, the says to it, it turns out it says, pray that you enter not into temptation.

Now, one way you'd say that is, you can say hope that sometimes how we use that word pray in that modern vernacular.

But he means pray. I mean, you look verse 46, why sleep you rise and pray?

Less the inner temptation. Now, granted, we don't have the divisions the same way Matthew does of the group of eight and so forth.

But you do have the disciples asking to pray.

The closest thing that I can find to an analogy that's like that is again, 3519, which is kind of fun.

Some of the thought stuff that we've been dealing with, we've been going to events in 3519 to some degree, but it's a before and after.

Right? And why in 3519? Well, before Christ comes, the disciples are praying and they have this baptism of fire by Holy Ghost.

And then when Christ comes, he actually has the disciples pray again.

So while he goes off to pray, he has the disciples pray.

I've read this a couple of ways, but it almost seems as if Christ has each of the disciples in 3519,

divvy up the audience so that they're, you got groups of 12.

And if they got groups of 12, are they leading them in prayer?

So do we have 12 different groups of praying going on? Plus Christ.

I don't have a great explanation as to the power of this type of communal prayer, but it's something.

I wish I could give more, but it's tantalizing this idea of a communal group of prayers.

Different people all praying at the same time in these different settings and these different groups.

And yet that's what he seems to be asking happen in the Garden of Gisemite 2.

We know that he's going to pray. We know that he's going to engage with God the Father, but he wants his disciples to be engaging in this prayer too.
