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 Jesus and his followers went to a place called Gethsemane. He said to them, "Sit here while I pray."

33 Jesus took Peter, James, and John with him, and he began to be very sad and troubled.

34 He said to them, "My heart is full of sorrow, to the point of death. Stay here and watch."

35 After walking a little farther away from them, Jesus fell to the ground and prayed that, if possible, he would not have this time of suffering.

36 He prayed, "Abba, Father! You can do all things. Take away this cupn of suffering. But do what you want, not what I want."
