But Peter said unto him ,.... Being greatly moved at what Christ had said, that all of them would be offended with him that night, and run away from him, and be scattered from him, and one another: although all shall be offended, yet will not I ; though all the rest of the disciples, the other ten, should do as Judas had done, should fall off from Christ, and either betray him, or deny him, or, at least, turn their backs on him, yet he would do neither; See Gill on Matthew 26:33 . read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:30

And Jesus saith unto him, verily I say unto thee ,.... As confident as thou art of standing by me, and abiding with me; that this day , which was then begun; for the Jews reckoned their days from evening, as in Genesis 1:5 ; even in this night ; this night to be observed, this night of the passover, before it is past: before the cock crow twice ; for there was a first and second cock crowing, the one at midnight, and the other near break of day, and which last is properly the... read more

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 .

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Mark 14:33

And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and John ,.... Who were witnesses of his transfiguration on the mount, and now of his sorrows in the garden: and began to be sore amazed ; to be in great consternation and astonishment, at the sight of all the sins of his people coming upon him; at the black storm of wrath, that was gathering thick over him; at the sword of justice which was brandished against him; and at the curses of the righteous law, which, like so many thunderbolts of... read more

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 . read more

And he went forward a little ,.... About a stone's cast, Luke 22:41 , and fell on the ground, and prayed ; he fell on his face to the ground, which was a praying posture.
