And he said,.... "To him", as all the Oriental versions add; to Peter, as what is said shows; that is, Jesus said to him, as the Syriac and Persic versions express: I tell thee, Peter; who knew him, and his heart, better than he did himself, as well as knew what was to come, and what would befall him; and therefore declares it, as he does with the...

And he said unto them,.... To the disciples, as the Persic version reads; not to Peter only, but to them all: when I sent you without purse, and scrip, and shoes; without the necessaries of life, without proper accommodations for a journey, without provisions, or money, to buy any with: so ανευβαλαντιου, "without a purse", is, by the Scholiast on...

For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be...

For I say unto you, that this that is written,.... In Isaiah 53:12 must yet be accomplished; it having not been as yet; at least not so perfectly fulfilled: and he was reckoned among the transgressors.

For I say unto you, that this that is written must yet be accomplished in me, And he was reckoned among the transgressors: for the things concerning me have an end. “They are drawing to their close.

And they said, Lord, behold here are two swords,.... That is, the disciples said so, as the Persic version expresses it; for they understood Christ's words literally; and two swords being among them, and which they might bring with them from Galilee, to defend themselves from thieves, and robbers, which infested the roads between that country and...
Spurgeon - Verse Expositions - Charles H. Spurgeon
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough. A smile must have passed over the Saviour’s face as he saw how egregiously they had misunderstood him. He did not mean that they should literally carry swords, but that they should now have to go through an alien world, and to meet with no friends or helpers. He...

And he came out,.... That is, "Christ", as the Persic version; or the "Lord Jesus", as the Ethiopic version expresses; he came out of the guestchamber, or upper room, and out of the house where he had been keeping the passover with his disciples; and he came out of the city of Jerusalem, to begin his sorrows and sufferings without the camp, where...

And Jesus came out, and went, as he was wont, to the mount of Olives; and his disciples also followed him. The garden of Gethsemane had often been the place of our Lord’s private prayer, and it was therefore well selected as the scene of his fierce struggle with the foe. Where we get strength from God in private, it may often happen that we shall...

And when he was at the place,.... In the garden, at Gethsemane, which was at the foot of the Mount of Olives; he said unto them; to the disciples, as the Persic version reads; pray that ye enter not into temptation.

And when he was at the place, he said unto them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation.

That is, from the three disciples, Peter, James, and John, whom he took along with him, leaving the rest at some further distance; and from these he removed, about a stone's cast; fifty, or sixty feet from the place where they were: and kneeled down and prayed; the following prayer.

And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.

Saying, Father, if thou be willing,....
