Mark 14:33 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:33

And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and John
Who were witnesses of his transfiguration on the mount, and now of his sorrows in the garden: and began to be sore amazed;
to be in great consternation and astonishment, at the sight of all the sins of his people coming upon him; at the black storm of wrath, that was gathering thick over him; at the sword of justice which was brandished against him; and at the curses of the righteous law, which, like so many thunderbolts of vengeance, were directed at him: no wonder it should be added, and to be very heavy: both with sin and sorrow;
(See Gill on Matthew 26:37).

Mark 14:33 In-Context

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."

35 Then He went a little farther, fell to the ground, and began to pray that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
