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:

Mark 14:32 In-Context

30 "I solemnly tell you," replied Jesus, "that to-day--this night--before the cock crows twice, you yourself will three times disown me."
31 "Even if I must die with you," declared Peter again and again, "I will never disown you." In like manner protested also all the disciples.
32 So they came to a place called Gethsemane. There He said to His disciples, "Sit down here till I have prayed."
33 Then He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be full of terror and distress,
34 and He said to them, "My heart is oppressed with anguish to the very point of death: wait here and keep awake."
