Vv. 26-31. On the way to Gethsemane (Mt. xxvi. 30-35, Lk. xxii. 39).—Ver. 26, exactly as in Mt. xxvi. 30, states that after singing the paschal hymn the company went forth towards the Mount of Olives.—Ver. 27. πάντες σκανδαλισθήσεσθε, ye all shall be made to stumble; absolutely, without the addi- tion of ἐν ἐμοὶ ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ im- ported into the text from Mt. in T.R. It was a startling announcement in broad general terms that the disciple- circle was about to experience a moral breakdown. The announcement was made not by way of reproach, but rather as a preface toa more cheering prophecy of an early reunion.—Ver. 28. ἀλλὰ p. : stronger than Mt.’s p. S€=ye shall be offended, but (be of good cheer) after my resurrection I will go before you, as your Shepherd (προάξω ὑμᾶς) into Gali- lee.—Ver. 29. It is the former part of the Master’s speech that lays hold of Peter’s mind; hence he promptly proceeds to make protestations of fidelity.—ei καὶ, etc.: even if (as is likely) all the rest shall be offended (the future, because the case put is conceived to be probable), yet
certainly (ἀλλ᾽ strongly opposing what follows to what goes before; vide Klotz, p. 93, on the force of ἀλλὰ in the apo- dosis of a conditional proposition) not I.—Ver. 30. To this over-confident GAN’ οὐκ ἐγώ of the disciple, the Master returns a very pointed and peremptory reply : I tell thee that thou (σὺ emphatic) to-day (σήμερον), on this night (more precise indication of time), before the cock crow twice (still more precise indication of time), shall deny me, not once, but again and again and again (tpis).—Ver. 31. ἐκπερισσῶς, abundantly in matter and manner, with vehemence and itera- tion; a ἅπαξ λεγ.--ἐλάλει, kept saying : that he would not deny his Master even if he had to die for Ἱε.---ὡσαύτως, a stronger word than Mt.’s épolws=in the same way, and probably in the same words. But the words of the others were simply a faint echo of Peter’s vehement and copious talk. They feebly said once (ἔλεγον = εἶπον) what he said strongly again and again (ἐλάλει).
Vv. 32-42. In Gethsemane (Mt. xxvi. 36-46, Lk. xxii. 40-46).—Ver. 33. Πρξατο, introduces the description of our Lord’s awful experience in the garden.— ἐκθαμβεῖσθαι, to be amazed; in Mk. only, first in ix. 15, where see remarks. on its meaning. Though Jesus had long
