Mark 14:27

And Jesus saith unto them ,.... As they were going to the Mount of Olives. The Persic version reads, in this place; meaning the Mount of Olives, having got thither:

all ye shall be offended because of me this night ; See Gill on Matthew 26:31 ;

for it is written in Zechariah 13:7 ,

I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered : Christ is meant by the shepherd, and the apostles by the sheep. The Syriac version reads, "his sheep".
