What does Mark 14:31 mean?
John Gill's Exposition of the Bible
Mark 14:31
But he spake the more vehemently
With a louder voice; with more spirit and eagerness; in a more
peremptory and self-confident way. If I should die with
thee, I will not deny thee in any wise.
The Syriac version adds, "O my Lord", my dear Lord, I will never
deny thee upon any consideration whatever; and the Persic
version, O Lord: likewise also said they all;
as he said, so said "all the disciples", as the Syriac version
reads it; (See Gill on Matthew
26:35).
