Mark 14:34 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:34

And saith unto them
The above three disciples;

my soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death:
he was surrounded with sorrow, and it pressed him so hard, and close, on every side, that he was just ready to die with it:

tarry ye here, and watch:
in Matthew it is added, "with me": (See Gill on Matthew 26:38).

32 And they came to a place {named} Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33 And he took along Peter and James and John with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled.

34 And he said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake."

35 And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to pray that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him.

36 And he said, "Abba, Father, all [things] [are] possible for you! Take away this cup from me! Yet not what I will, but what you [will]."
