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 They came to an area called Gethsemane. Jesus told his disciples, "Sit here while I pray."

33 He took Peter, James, and John with him. He plunged into a sinkhole of dreadful agony.

34 He told them, "I feel bad enough right now to die. Stay here and keep vigil with me."

35 Going a little ahead, he fell to the ground and prayed for a way out:

36 "Papa, Father, you can - can't you? - get me out of this. Take this cup away from me. But please, not what I want - what do you want?"
