Se le apareció un ángel del cielo y lo fortaleció (Luc. 22:43).
Los ángeles pudieron haber evitado que Jesús fuera detenido y asesinado. Sin embargo, en vez de eso, uno de ellos lo fortaleció poco antes de su arresto. ¿Por qué? Porque de acuerdo con el propósito de Jehová, Jesús tenía que sacrificar su vida; así demostró que un hombre perfecto puede mantenerse íntegro aunque se le pruebe hasta el límite. Por eso Jehová lo resucitó y le concedió vida inmortal en el cielo, le dio “toda autoridad” e hizo que los ángeles se sujetaran a él (Mat. 28:18; Luc. 24:4-7; Hech. 2:32; 1 Ped. 3:22). De esta manera quedó claro que Jesús era la parte principal de la “descendencia” de la “mujer” de Dios (Gén. 3:15; Gál. 3:16). Jesús sabía que no debía poner a prueba a Jehová arriesgando su vida imprudentemente y esperando que los ángeles lo rescataran (Mat. 4:5-7). Nosotros debemos esforzarnos por imitar a Jesús y “vivir con buen juicio”. Aunque nos enfrentamos a la persecución con plena confianza en Jehová, no debemos arriesgarnos innecesariamente (Tito 2:12).

An angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.—Luke 22:43.
The angels could have prevented Jesus’ arrest and cruel death. Instead, however, an angel was sent to strengthen him. In accord with Jehovah’s purpose, Jesus died a sacrificial death and furnished proof that a perfect man can maintain integrity to God despite being tested to the limit. Jehovah therefore resurrected Jesus to immortal heavenly life, giving him “all authority” and making angels subject to him. (Matt. 28:18; Luke 24:4-7; Acts 2:32; 1 Pet. 3:22) Jesus thus proved to be the principal part of the “seed” of God’s “woman.” (Gen. 3:15; Gal. 3:16) Jesus knew that it was wrong for him to put Jehovah to the test by expecting angels to rescue him if he were to engage in reckless behavior. (Matt. 4:5-7) So let us imitate Jesus’ example by living with “soundness of mind,” not taking unnecessary risks, yet facing persecution confidently.—Titus 2:12.
Examining the Bible Scriptures Daily, Such instructions gave Jesus ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ so that he would ‘know how to answer the tired one with a word.’ (Isa. 30:20; 50:4; Matt. 11:28-30) Being awakened to timely counsel from the Word of God each morning will not only help you to cope with your own problems but also equip you with ‘the tongue of the taught ones’ to help others.”
