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 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."

35 Going forward a short distance He threw Himself upon His face and prayed repeatedly that, if it was possible, He might be spared that time of agony;

36 and He said, "Abba! my Father! all things are possible for Thee: take this cup of suffering away from me: and yet not what I desire, but what Thou desirest."
