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 Jesus said to Peter, "I tell you that before the rooster crows two times tonight, you will say three times that you do not know me."

31 Peter answered even more strongly, "I will never say that, even if I have to die with you!" And all the other disciples said the same thing.

32 They came to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. Distress and anguish came over him,

34 and he said to them, "The sorrow in my heart is so great that it almost crushes me. Stay here and keep watch."
