I wrote a paper in school years ago and subsequently used it in a sermon. I always thought Luke’s record of Jesus’ sweating blood to be an artistic embellishment. I was surprised to find out it’s a very real and rare, reaction to extreme stress called hematidrosis. What a rich detail included by Luke.

Interesting that the physician is the one who caught that detail too!
