Mark 14:32-42

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:40

And when he returned, he found them asleep again ,.... Notwithstanding the expostulation he had used with them, the exhortation he had given them, and the danger he had suggested to them: for their eyes were heavy : with sleep and sorrow: neither wist they what to answer him ; partly through confusion and shame, not knowing how to excuse themselves; and partly, through their being stupefied with sleep and grief. read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:41

And he cometh the third time ,.... After he had prayed a third time, to the same purport as before: and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest ; which words are spoken ironically: it is enough ; or "the end is come"; as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it, of watching and praying: the hour is come, behold the son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners ; both Jews and Gentiles, by one of his own disciples; See Gill on Matthew 26:45 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:42

Rise up let us go ,.... To meet the enemy and the danger; for there is no escaping; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand ; Judas, that he had hinted at supper should betray him, was now about doing it; and was just now coming upon him, in order to deliver him into the hands of the Jews, and the Roman band of soldiers; See Gill on Matthew 26:46 . read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Mark 14:36

Abba, Father - This Syriac word, which intimates filial affection and respect, and parental tenderness, seems to have been used by our blessed Lord merely considered as man, to show his complete submission to his Father's will, and the tender affection which he was conscious his Father had for him, Abba , Syriac, is here joined to ὁ πατηρ , Greek, both signifying father; so St. Paul, Romans 8:15 ; Galatians 4:6 . The reason is, that from the time in which the Jews became conversant... read more

Betrayal. We now approach the darkest of all the dark hours through which our Redeemer passed in this world, so overcast with clouds. "The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of men." It was by "one of the twelve," and "unto the chief priests," and for "money I. What lessons on THE FRAILTY OF THE POOR HUMAN HEART ! The hand that received "the sop," that dipped into the same dish with Jesus, received into its hardened palm the miserable pittance—a slave's price. Ah! even... read more

Peter's fall. The painful declaration that the words of the prophet, "I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered abroad," would find their fulfillment in them, and in "All ye shall be offended," roused Peter's spirit, and with a bold but mistaken estimate of his own courage and devotion, he fearlessly, even presumptuously, affirmed, "Although all shall be offended, yet will not I." St. Luke has preserved for us words which throw much light upon the incident of Peter's... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:32

And they come ( ἔρχονται )—here again St. Mark's present gives force to the narrative— unto a place which was named Gethsemane . A place ( χωρίον ) is, literally, an enclosed piece of ground , generally with a cottage upon it. Josephus tells us that these gardens were numerous in the suburbs of Jerusalem. St. Jerome says that "Gethsemane was at the foot of the Mount of Olives." St. John ( John 18:1 ) calls it a garden, or orchard ( κῆπος ). The word "Gethsemane" means... read more
