Ver. 39. ἐξελθὼν: no mention of the hymn sung before going out (Mt. ver. 30, Mk. ver. 26), Lk. makes prominent the outgoing of ¥esus. The parallels speak in the plural of the whole company.— κατὰ τὸ ἔθος: for the form vide ii. 42, and for the fact xxi. 37 and John xviii. 2. This is another point of contact between

4 Verses 43, 44 are found in *DL and many other uncials, in codd. vet. Lat. vulg, Egypt. νετ. Syr. (cur. Pesh. Hier., but not sin.) Eus. Canons, etc., etc. They are wanting in aABRT, and Epiph. Hil. and Hier. mention that they were wanting in many codd. known to them. W.H. give them in double brackets, and regard them as no part of Lk.’s text, though a true element of the @hristian tradition.

these two Gospels. The reference to the habit of Jesus deprives this visit of special εΙσηίῇςαπος,- ἠκολούθησαν: the dis- ciples followed, no talk by the way of their coming breakdown, as in Mt. ver. 31, and Mk. ver. 27.
Vv. 40-46. ἐπὶ τοῦ τόπον, at the place, of usual resort, not the place of this memorable scene, for it is not Lk.’s pur- pose to make it specially prominent. Cf. John xviii. 2, τὸν τόπον previously de- scribed as a κῆπος across the brook Κεάτοπ.---προσεύχεσθε: Jesus bids the disciples pray against temptation. In Mt. and Mk. He bids them sit down while He prays. Their concern is to be wholly for themselves.—Ver. 41. ἄπεσ- πάσθη, He withdrew, secessit. Some insist on the literal sense, and render, “tore Himself away” = “avulsus est,” Vulg., implying that Jesus was acting under strong feeling. But did Lk. wish to make that prominent? The verb does not necessarily mean more than “ with- drew,” and many of the philological com- mentators (Wolf, Raphel, Pricaeus, Pal- ‘airet, etc.) take it in that sense, citing late Greek authors in support.—am’ av- τῶν, from them (all); no mention of three taken along with Him, a very important feature as an index of the state of mind of Jesus. The Master in His hour of weakness looked to the three for sym- pathy and moral support; vide Mt. xxvi. 40. But it did not enter into Lk.’s plan to make that apparent.—Aiov βολήν, a stone’s cast, not too distant to be over-
heard. Bodnvis the accusative of measure. --θεὶς τὰ γόνατα: the usual attitude in prayer was standing; the kneeling pos- ture implied special urgency (‘in genibus orabant quoties res major urgebat,” Grot.), but not so decidedly as falling at full length on the ground, the attitude pointed at in the parallels—Ver. 42. πάτερ, Father! the keynote, a prayer of faith however dire the distress.—et βούλει, etc.: with the reading παρένεγκε the sense is simple: if Thou wilt, take away. With παρενεγκεῖν OF παρενέγκαι we have a sentence unfinished: ‘‘ apodosis sup- pressed by sorrow” (Winer, p. 750), or an infinitive for an imperative (Bengel, etc.). The use of wap. in the sense of ‘‘remove” is somewhat unusual. Hesy- chius gives as synonyms verbs of the opposite meaning- παραθεῖναι, παραβαλ- ew. The ἀπ᾿ ἐμοῦ leaves no doubt what is meant. In Lk.’s narrative there is only a single act of prayer. The whole account is mitigated as compared with that in Mt. and Mk. Jesus goes to the accustomed place, craves no sympathy from the three, kneels, utters a single prayer, then returns to the Twelve. With this picture the statement in vv. 43, 44 is
