Mat 26:36 | Clarke | STEP | Verse 36 A place called Gethsemane - A garden at the foot of the mount of Olives. The name seems to be formed from גת gath, a press, and סמן shemen, oil; probably the place where the produce of the mount of Olives was prepared for use. The garden of the oil-press, or olive-press. Sit ye here - Or, stay in this place, while I go and pray yonder: and employ ye the time as I shall employ it
