Greek Commentary for Luke 22:46
This reproach Luke gives, but not the almost bitter details in Mark 14:37-42; Matthew 26:40-46). [source]

Στολη Stolē is an old word for a fine stately garment that comes down to the feet (from στελλο stello to prepare, equip), the kind worn by kings (Mark 16:5; Luke 22:46). Literally, “a robe the first.” But not the first that you find, but the first in rank and value, the finest in the house. This in contrast with his shabby clothes. [source]
“Keep on praying not to enter (ingressive aorist infinitive, not even once) into temptation.” It is real “temptation” here, not just “trial.” Jesus knew the power of temptation and the need of prayer. These words throw a light on the meaning of his language in Matthew 6:13. Jesus repeats this warning in Luke 22:46. [source]
