Modern LDS Scriptures contain additional clarifcation on Jesus bleeding from every pore. It's in the Doctrine and Covenants. LDS would consider this Jesus speaking directly to Joseph Smith; it's even in the first person:

18 Which suffering caused myself, even God, the greatest of all, to tremble because of pain, and to bleed at every pore, and to suffer both body and spirit—and would that I might not drink the bitter cup, and shrink—

For more information, this talk is probably considered official enough:

The Atonement

There in the garden bearing the Hebrew name of Gethsemane—meaning “oil-press”—olives had been beaten and pressed to provide oil and food. There at Gethsemane, the Lord “suffered the pain of all men, that all … might repent and come unto him.”33 He took upon Himself the weight of the sins of all mankind, bearing its massive load that caused Him to bleed from every pore.34

Interestingly, Elder Nelson (now President Nelson) is a world-renowned doctor, so he includes some comments from a "medical" angle. But it also includes some folk-doctrines that more enlightened modern Mormons eschew (such as the idea that Adam and Eve had no blood in their bodies until after the Fall).

Seems like "bleeding from every pore" is part of the myth surrounding jesus. In my mind, it doesn't matter whether it is total myth or myth surrounding a real person. These parts are myth just the same.

It seems to be hyperbole thrown in by a storyteller unfamiliar with what it would take to actually bleed from every pore. A writer from the latter 20th Century might say instead, "Jesus experienced great angst while in the Garden of Gethsemane."

So maybe instead of kissing Jesus to identify him, Judas should have just said: “it’s the guy covered in blood.”

Only his 'left' arm bled from every pore.

D&C 29: 1
1 Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the Great I Am, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins;

Luke 22: 44
44 And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

If he were bleeding all over his body the drops would get soaked up in his clothes. He calls that arm his 'holy arm'

Ps. 98: 1
1 O sing unto the Lord a new song; for he hath done marvellous things: his right hand, and his holy arm, hath gotten him the victory.
Isa. 52: 10
10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Mosiah 12: 24
24 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God?
Mosiah 15: 31
31 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
3 Ne. 16: 20
20 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of God.
D&C 109: 22
22 And we ask thee, Holy Father, that thy servants may go forth from this house armed with thy power, and that thy name may be upon them, and thy glory be round about them, and thine angels have charge over them;
D&C 133: 3
3 For he shall make bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of their God.

It says his 'right hand' AND his holy arm.......his left arm obviously. And another reason it is the left is because that is where a broken heart is felt more intensely.

[_I have a question]

It’s an analogy used by the author to express how much Jesus was sweating.

That's the stupidest bloody thing I've ever heard.

What a twit. Get back in your hole, false prophet. No body believes a word you say.
