Mateo 26:44-46 RVA

Matthew Henry's Complete Commentary - Matthew 26:36-46

Hitherto, we have seen the preparatives for Christ's sufferings; now, we enter upon the bloody scene. In these verses we have the story of his agony in the garden. This was the beginning of sorrows to our Lord Jesus. Now the sword of the Lord began to awake against the man that was his Fellow; and how should it be quiet when the Lord had given it a charge? The clouds had been gathering a good while, and looked black. He had said, some days before, Now is my soul troubled, John 12:27. But now... read more

William Barclay's Daily Study Bible - Matthew 26:36-46

26:36-46 Then Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, "Sit here, while I go away and pray in this place." So he took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be distressed and in sore trouble. Then he said to them, "My soul is much distressed with a distress like death. Stay here, and watch with me." He went a little way forward and fell on his face in prayer. "My Father," He said, "if it is possible, let this cup pass from me. But let it be not... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:44

And he left them, and went away again ,.... At some little distance from them; they being so overpowered with sleep, that he could have no conversation with them: and prayed the third time ; as the Apostle Paul did, when under temptation, he prayed thrice that it might depart from him, 2 Corinthians 12:8 , saying the same words : the Arabic version renders it, "in the words which he before expressed"; and Munster's Hebrew Gospel reads, "he said the same prayer"; not in the selfsame... read more

Then cometh he to his disciples ,.... The three that were nearest to him, "the third time", as Mark says, Mark 14:41 , and as it was, and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest . The Evangelist Mark adds, "it is enough", Mark 14:41 ; which has induced some interpreters to think, that these words were spoken seriously by Christ: though the sense cannot be that they had watched sufficiently, and now might sleep, and take their rest, for they had not watched at all; but... read more

John Gills Exposition of the Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:46

Rise, let us be going ,.... Not to run away from the enemy, but to meet him: this was said, partly to arouse his sleepy disciples; and partly to show his love to his Father, and his submission to his will; as also to express the fortitude of his mind as man; he was now rid of his fears, and free from those agonies and dreadful apprehensions of things, he was but a little while ago possessed of; and likewise, to signify his willingness to be apprehended, and to suffer, and die, in the room of... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:44

Prayed the third time - So St. Paul - I besought the Lord Thrice that it might depart from me, 2 Corinthians 12:8 . This thrice repeating the same petition argues deep earnestness of soul. read more

Adam Clarke

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:45

Sleep on now, and take your rest - Perhaps it might be better to read these words interrogatively, and paraphrase them thus: Do ye sleep on still? Will no warnings avail? Will no danger excite you to watchfulness and prayer? My hour - in which I am to be delivered up, is at hand; therefore now think of your own personal safety. The Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners - Αμαρτωλων , viz. the Gentiles or heathens, who were generally distinguished by this appellation from the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:46

Rise, let us be going - That is, to meet them, giving thereby the fullest proof that I know all their designs, and might have, by flight or otherwise, provided for my own safety; but I go willingly to meet that death which their malice designs me, and, through it, provide for the life of the world. read more

John Calvin

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:45

Verse 45 Matthew 26:45.Sleep on now, and take your rest. It is plain enough, that Christ now speaks ironically, but we must, at the same time, attend to the object of the irony. For Christ, having gained nothing by warning his disciples, not only gives an indirect reproof of their indifference, but threatens, that how indolent so ever they may choose to be, no longer delay will be allowed them. The meaning therefore is, “Having hitherto wasted my words on you, I shall now come to exhort you;... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Matthew 26:46

Verse 46 46.Arise, let us go. By these words he declares that, after having prayed, he was furnished with new arms. He had formerly, indeed, been sufficiently voluntary as to dying; but, when he came to the point, he had a hard struggle with the weakness of the flesh, so that he would willingly have withdrawn from dying, provided that he had been permitted to do so with the good-will of his Father. He, therefore, obtained by prayers and tears (Hebrews 5:7) new strength from heaven; not that he... read more
