Mark 14:32-34 ASV

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:32-35

Gethsemane. The Mediator between God and man experienced all the vicissitudes of human life. From the loftiest height of joy he plunged into the deepest depths of distress. Because of the fullness of his nature he surpassed us in these experiences, alike in the glory of the Transfiguration and in the agony of Gethsemane. Therefore we are never beyond the range of his sympathy. We are all familiar with the outward circumstances of this incident, but the wisest of us knows but little of the... read more

Gethsemane. How pathetic is this scene! Here we are in the presence of the sorrow of the Son of man; and there is no sorrow like this sorrow. Here we see Christ bearing our griefs, carrying our sorrows—a load beneath which even he almost sinks! It is not to us a spectacle merely of human anguish; we are deeply and personally interested in the agony of the Son of God. It was for our sake that the Father spared not his own Son. It was for our sake that Jesus, our High Priest, offered up... read more

The agony in the garden. I. ITS SORROW . 1 . The manner in which it was experienced . There were premonitions. All through life there ran a thread of similar emotions, which were now gathering themselves into one overwhelming sense of grief, fear, and desolation: it was crescent and cumulative. He did not artificially create or stimulate the emotion, but entered into it naturally and gradually. Gethsemane was sought, not from a sense of aesthetic or dramatic fitness, but... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:32-42

Gethsemane. With reverent steps and bent head must we approach this scene. It would be improper to intrude upon the privacy of the Savior's suffering had not the Spirit of truth seen fit to "declare" this also unto us. The disciples, with the three, exceptions, were excluded by the words, "Sit ye here, while I pray." And even from the favored three "he went forward a little," "about a stone's cast." Then, "sore troubled," and with a "soul exceeding sorrowful even unto death," he "fell on... read more

Gethsemane. I. THE SPIRIT 'S NEED OF OCCASIONAL SOLITUDE . We need to collect and concentrate ourselves. "We must go alone. We must put ourselves in communication with the internal ocean, not go abroad to beg a cup of water of the urns of other men. I like the silent church before the service beans better than any preaching. How far-off, how cool, how chaste the persons look, begirt each one with a precinct or sanctuary! So let us always sit" (Emerson). II. ITS NEED ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:33

It appears that our Lord separated himself from all the disciples except Peter and James and John, and then the bitter agony began. He began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled ( ἐκθαμβεῖσθαι καὶ ἀδημονεῖν ). These two Greek verbs are as adequately expressed above as seems possible. The first implies "utter, extreme amazement;" if the second has for its root ἄδημος , "not at home," it implies the anguish of the soul struggling to free itself from the body under the pressure... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Mark 14:34

None but he who bore those sorrows can know what they were. It was not the apprehension of the bodily torments and the bitter death that awaited him, all foreknown by him. It was the inconceivable agony of the weight of the sins of men. The Lord was thus laying "upon him the iniquity of us all." This, and this alone, can explain it. My soul is exceeding sorrowful even unto death . Every word carries the emphasis of an overwhelming grief. It was then that "the deep waters came in," even unto... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Mark 14:32-42

See the notes at Matthew 26:36-46.Mark 14:36Ἀββα Abba This word denotes “father.” It is a Syriac word, and is used by the Saviour as a word denoting filial affection and tenderness. Compare Romans 8:15.Mark 14:40Neither wist they ... - Neither “knew” they. They were so conscious of the impropriety of sleeping at that time, that they could not find any answer to give to the inquiry why they had done it.Mark 14:41It is enough - There has been much difficulty in determining the meaning of this... read more

Mark 14:32-38. They came to Gethsemane For an explanation of these verses see the notes on Matthew 26:36-39. And began to be sore amazed Greek, εκθαμβεισθαι , to be in a consternation. The word implies the most shocking mixture of terror and amazement: the next word, αδημονειν , which we render, to be very heavy, signifies to be quite depressed, and almost overwhelmed with the load: and the word περιλυπος , in the next verse, which we translate exceeding sorrowful, implies, that... read more

150. Jesus prays in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 18:1)It must have been getting towards midnight by the time Jesus and his disciples reached the Garden of Gethsemane. Then, taking Peter, James and John with him, Jesus moved to a spot where they could be alone. He was filled with anguish and horror as he saw clearly what his death would mean. The three friends could do little to lessen his anguish except stay awake in sympathy with him. He had to battle... read more
