Sweating Blood
I was listing to someone talk about when Jesus was in the garden when he was praying just before they came and took Him away. At the time He was sweating blood, He was under great stress. Im guessing this is when He was beginning to start to feel the weight of sin. I know this is a very real physical condition and people have died from it. Can anyone explain this condition and tell me what it is called?

I remember reading about this condition some years ago. Its called hematohidrosis. There are a network of blood vessels that surrounds the sweat glands. Under extreme stressful conditions those blood vessels constrict, but as the stress wears away, those blood vessels dilate so quickly that they rupture. As a result blood enters the sweat glands and it is pushed out along wit the sweat.
In Jesus' case it was extremely stressful for him. His mental agony no doubt led to that medical condition. -
