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 "I assure you," Jesus said to him, "today, this very night, before the rooster crows twice, you will deny Me three times!"

31 But he kept insisting, "If I have to die with You, I will never deny You!" And they all said the same thing.

32 Then they came to a place named Gethsemane, and He told His disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33 He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and horrified.

34 Then He said to them, "My soul is swallowed up in sorrow -to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake."
