the time of night.—*rpis, thrice, sugges- tive of denial in aggravated form; on which, not on the precise number of times, as an instance of miraculous pre- diction, stress should be laid.—Ver. 35: intensified protestation of fidelity—kat before édv (kav) intensive, introducing an extreme case, death for the Master.—ovd µή, making the predictive future em- phatically negative=I certainly will not. ---ὁμοίως, similarly, weaker than Mk.’s ὡσαύτως. Very improbable, thinks De Wette. But the disciples were placed in a delicate position by Peter’s protesta- tions, and would have to say something, however faint-heartedly.
Vv. 36-46. The agony (so called from the word ἀγωνία in Lk. xxii. 44, a ἅπαξ Aey.).—Ver. 36. χωρίον, a place in the sense of a property or farm = villa in Vulgate, ager, Hilary, Grundstick, Weizsacker’s translation.—Te@onpava,

Descriptions of the place now identified with it in Robinson’s Researches, Furrer’s Wanderungen, and Stanley’s Sinai and Palestine. — καθίσατε αὐτοῦ: Jesus arranges that a good distance shall be between Himself and the body of the disciples when He enters the valley of the shadow of death. He expects no help from them.—éxet, there! pointing to the place visible in the moonlight.— Ver. 37. παραλαβὼν: He takes the same three as at the transfiguration along with Him that they may be near enough to prevent ρ feeling of utter

isolation.—pfaro, He began. This beginning refers to the appearance of distress; the inward beginning came earlier. He hid His feelings till He had reduced His following to three; then allowed them to appear to those who, He hoped, could bear the revelation and give Him a little sympathy.—a8npoveiv, of uncertain derivation. Euthy. gives as its equivalent βαρυθυμεῖν, to be dejected or heavy-hearted.—Ver. 38. τοτὲ λέγει avr. : He confides to the three His state of mind without reserve, as if He wished it to be known. Cf. the use made in the epistle to the Hebrews of this frank manifestation of weakness as showing that Christ could not have usurped the priestly office, but rather simply submitted to be made a priest (chap. v. 7, ϐ).--“περίλυπος, overwhelmed with distress, ‘‘iber und tiber traurig” (Weiss).—é€ws θανάτου, mortally = death by anticipation, showing that it was the Passion with all its horrors vividly realised that was causing the distress. Hilary, true to his docetic tendency, represents Christ as distressed on accoun’ of the three, fearing they might altogethe: lose their faith in οά.--ὧδε: the three stationed nearer the scene of agony to keep watch there.—Ver. 39. μικρὸν, a little space, presumably near enough for them to hear (cf.
