Matthew 26:44 - Coke's Commentary on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

Saying the same words— It is plain, by comparing Matthew 26:39; Matthew 26:42 that the words were not entirely the same; and it is certain that λογος often signifies matter; so that no more appears to be intended than that he prayed to the same purpose as before. The reader by referring to Luke 22:43-44 will find a more distinct account of this astonishing scene.

Matthew 26:44

44 And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
