Mark 14:32 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:32

And they came to a place which is named Gethsemane
At the foot of the Mount of Olives, where the olives, which grew in great plenty on the mount, were pressed: and where our Lord began to be bruised, for our sins: and be saith to his disciples:
to eight of them: sit ye here while I shall pray;
at some distance from hence; (See Gill on Matthew 26:36).

Mark 14:32 In-Context

30 Yeshua replied, "Yes! I tell you that this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will disown me three times!"
31 But Kefa kept insisting, "Even if I must die with you, I will never disown you!" And they all said the same thing.
32 They went to a place called Gat Sh'manim; and Yeshua said to his talmidim, "Sit here while I pray."
33 He took with him Kefa, Ya`akov and Yochanan. Great distress and anguish came over him;
34 and he said to them, "My heart is so filled with sadness that I could die! Remain here and stay awake."
