Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Matthew 26:36-46

Matthew GETHSEMANE, THE OIL-PRESS Mat_26:36 - Mat_26:46 . One shrinks from touching this incomparable picture of unexampled sorrow, for fear lest one’s finger-marks should stain it. There is no place here for picturesque description, which tries to mend the gospel stories by dressing them in to-day’s fashions, nor for theological systematisers and analysers of the sort that would ‘botanise upon their mother’s grave.’ We must put off our shoes, and feel that we stand on holy ground. Though... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Matthew 26:36-46

the Hour When the Flesh Was Weak Matthew 26:36-46 In human life there is a close connection between our hymns and our olive-presses. We pass from the supper to the garden, from the emblems to the reality. But not all can enter into the fellowship of our Lord’s unknown sufferings. Paul longed to do this that he might realize also the power of His resurrection, Philippians 3:10 . Our Lord longs for the sympathy which will keep awake for love of Him, though it may not understand all that is in... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Matthew 26:1-75

The Lord now reverted to the theme of His coming suffering, telling the disciples with great definiteness of the time-"after two days"; and of the event-"The Son of Man is delivered up to be crucified." Meanwhile the priests and elders were assembled in secret conclave, plotting how they might secure Him in order to silence His voice by putting Him to death. Whether the story of the alabaster cruse was in chronological order is of little moment. It is a revelation of perhaps the most wonderful... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:36-46

Agony In The Garden (26:36-46). Jesus and His disciples arrive in Gethsemane. We who know what to expect recognise that the crucial hour has come, but it is salutary to recognise that prior to His ordeal Jesus finds it necessary to pray. Aware of something of what lies ahead His prayer is agony as He seeks to ensure that what He is facing is really His Father’s will. As with His not knowing the time of His coming (Matthew 24:36) it is a sign of His true humanity that He has to verify the path... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:42

‘Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, your will be done.” ’ Then Jesus moves away again and His words reveal that He is still fighting His way through to full understanding of His Father’s will, which He now senses that He has almost reached. ‘If this cannot pass away except I drink it, your will be done.’ This sums up His whole attitude as He prays. For Him His Father’s will is primary. And it was vital that it should be... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:42-43

Mark saith Mark 14:39,Mark 14:40, And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy), neither wist they what to answer him. Saying the same words. How our translation came to translate this so I cannot tell, in the Greek it is τον αυτ ον λογον, which must be translated, the same word, or the same speech, not words (if that were the evangelist’s sense). But that it is not, for, as it is plain our Saviour... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Matthew 26:36-46

CRITICAL NOTESMatthew 26:36. Gethsemane = “the oil press.”—On the slope of the Mount of Olives. Probably there was, or had been, in it a press for the manufacture of olive oil. The identity of this garden with the traditional spot is disputed.Matthew 26:45-46. Sleep on now.… Rise, let us be going.—The sudden transition may be explained either (1) by regarding the first words as intended for a rebuke, or else (2) at that very moment Judas appeared, and the time for action had come. The short,... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:36-46

Matthew 26:36-46 Gethsemane. I. The first thing to which we direct attention, is the intense severity of the suffering which now overwhelmed and oppressed the mind of Christ. The extreme severity of Christ's sufferings in the garden are indicated by several circumstances. (1) It appears that as soon as He had retired with the three disciples who were permitted to be near Him, the internal conflict commenced, and a sudden change took place in His appeareance. "He began to be sorrowful and very... read more
