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).

33 And He took with Him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed and very heavy of heart.

34 And He said unto them, "My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death; tarry ye here, and watch."

35 And He went forward a little, and fell on the ground and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.

36 And He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible unto Thee. Take away this cup from Me; nevertheless not what I will, but what Thou wilt."
