Luke 22:43

In transitive constructions, ἐνισχύω governs a direct accusative, meaning “to strengthen” or “to reinforce,” whether applied to abstract qualities (e.g., τὴν βουλὴν σου in LXX Ezek. 27.9) or persons (ἄγγελος ἐνισχύων αὐτόν, Luke 22.43). Its semantic scope includes both physical reinforcement and emotional or moral encouragement. See Hippocrates Lexicon 2.26; Aristotle, P.A. 2.7.17; Thucydides, Hist. 5.9.3; Diodorus Siculus 5.57.
