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).

Mark 14:34 In-Context

32 They went to a place called Gethsemane; and he said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33 He took with him Peter and James and John, and began to be distressed and agitated.

34 And he said to them, "I am deeply grieved, even to death; remain here, and keep awake."

35 And going a little farther, he threw himself on the ground and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him.

36 He said, "Abba, Father, for you all things are possible; remove this cup from me; yet, not what I want, but what you want."
