Mark 14:38-41 NIV

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Mark 14:32-42

Christ is here entering upon his sufferings, and begins with those which were the sorest of all his sufferings, those in his soul. Here we have him in his agony; this melancholy story we had in Matthew; this agony in soul was the wormwood and the gall in the affliction and misery; and thereby it appeared that no sorrow was forced upon him, but that it was what he freely admitted. I. He retired for prayer; Sit ye here (saith he to his disciples), while I go a little further, and pray. He had... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Mark 14:32-42

14:32-42 They came to a place the name of which is Gethsemane. Jesus said to his disciples, "Sit here while I pray." He took Peter and James and John with him, and began to be in great distress and trouble of mind. He said to them, "My soul is sore grieved even to death. Stay here and watch." He went on a little farther and fell on the ground and prayed that, if it was possible, this hour might pass from him. He said, "Abba, Father, everything is possible to you. Take this cup from me--but... read more

Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation ,.... Of denying Christ, and falling off from him, which would quickly offer to them, when they should see him apprehended, bound, and led away. The spirit truly is ready . The Persic version renders it, "my mind"; as if the Spirit or soul of Christ was meant; whereas it is either to be understood of the evil spirit, Satan, who was disposed to attack them, and especially Peter, whom he desired to have, and sift as wheat; or else the spirit... read more

And again he went away ,.... To the same place, or at much such a distance from them, as before: and prayed and spake the same words ; or word, that is, the same matter; for λογος , here, answers to דבר , which signifies a thing, or matter, as well as word: Christ prayed to the same effect, for matter and substance the same as before, though not in the same express words, as is clear from Matthew 26:39 . read more

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

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 !

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
