Mar 14:32-42 | Barnes | STEP | Verses 32-42. (s) "And they came"

Mark 14:32-42

(s) "And they came" Mt 26:36, Lk 22:39, Jn 18:1 Verse 34.

(t) "soul is" Jn 12:27 Verse 35.

(u) "prayed" Heb 5:7 Verse 36. Abba. This word denotes father. It is a Syriac word, and is used by our Saviour as a word denoting filial affection and tenderness. See Rom 8:15.

(v) "Said, Abba" Rom 8:15, Gal 4:6 (w) "nevertheless, not" Ps 40:8, Jn 4:34, 5:30, 6:38,39, 18:11, Php 2:8. Verse 38.

(x) "spirit truly" Rom 7:18-25, Gal 5:17 Verse 40. Neither wist they, etc. Neither knew they. They were so conscious of the impropriety of sleeping at that time, that they could not find any answer to give to the inquiry why they had done it. Verse 41. It is enough. There has been much difficulty in determining the meaning of this phrase. Campbell translates it, "All is over;" i.e., the time when you could have been of service to me is gone by. They might have aided him by watching for him, when they were sleeping; but now the time was past, and he was already, as it were, in the hands of his enemies. It is not improbable, however, that after his agony some time elapsed before Judas came. He had required them to watch, i. e., to keep awake, during that season of agony. After that, they might have been suffered to sleep, while Jesus watched alone. As he saw Judas approach, he probably roused them, saying, It is sufficient--as much repose has been taken as is allowable--the enemy is near, and the Son of man is about to be betrayed.

(y) "hour is come" Jn 7:30, 8:20, 13:1
