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 Jesus replied, “I tell you the truth, Peter—this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny three times that you even know me.”

31 “No!” Peter declared emphatically. “Even if I have to die with you, I will never deny you!” And all the others vowed the same.

32 They went to the olive grove called Gethsemane, and Jesus said, “Sit here while I go and pray.”

33 He took Peter, James, and John with him, and he became deeply troubled and distressed.

34 He told them, “My soul is crushed with grief to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.”
