Mark 14:32-34
ContextGethsemane
14:32 Then 1 they went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus 2 said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” 14:33 He took Peter, James, 3 and John with him, and became very troubled and distressed. 14:34 He said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Remain here and stay alert.”
1 tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
2 tn Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
3 tn Grk “and James,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
