Context of Mark 14:35

33And He took Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed. 34Then He said to them, “My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even to death. Stay here and watch.” He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him. 36And He said, “Abba, Father, all things are possible for You.

Commentaries on Mark 14:35

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 32-42Verses 32-42 See the notes at Matthew 26:36-46. Mark 14:36 ̓ AbbaThis 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 14:40 Neither 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 14:41 It is enough - There has been…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 32-42Verses 32-42 Christ's sufferings began with the sorest of all, those in his soul. He began to be sorely amazed; words not used in St. Matthew, but very full of meaning. The terrors of God set themselves in array against him, and he allowed him to contemplate them. Never was sorrow like unto his at this time. Now he was made a curse for us; the curses of the law were laid upon him as our Surety. He now tasted death, in all the bitterness of it. This was…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 35-36Jesus fell to the ground to pray because of his deep distress (see Genesis 17:1–3; Leviticus 9:24; Numbers 14:5; 16:4).

Jesus addressed God as Abba, Father, indicating their close relationship (see Romans 8:15; Galatians 4:6). Take this cup from me: In faith, Jesus expressed his own feelings and desires to the Father. It…Read the comment
