Today's Verse:
kjv@Mark:14:32 kjv@Mark:14:33 kjv@Mark:14:34 kjv@Mark:14:35 kjv@Mark:14:36 kjv@Mark:14:37 kjv@Mark:14:38 kjv@Mark:14:39 kjv@Mark:14:40 kjv@Mark:14:41 kjv@Mark:14:42 Jesus began to be sore amazed: Same concept as disciples when He walked to the boat and calmed the wind kjv@Mark:6:51, as one looking at an angel at the empty tomb kjv@Mark:16:5-6. Something intense has suddenly began to affect Him; something intense even for Him. What? From who? Very heavy: Sorrow/grief placed upon Lamb by LORD: kjv@Isaiah:53:4 borne our griefs and carried our sorrows yet we, kjv@Isaiah:53:10 he hath put him to grief. Previous judgments had a overwhelming heavy effect on the prophets of old (examples: Jeremiah kjv@Lamentations:1:12 Lord afflicted me, David kjv@Psalms:69:1-3 deep mire... no standing... while I wait for my God, kjv@Psalms:88:14-16 ... while I suffer thy terrors... thy wrath... thy terrors have cut me off. Also kjv@Jeremiah:23:9 kjv@Ezekiel:3:14 kjv@Daniel:7:28 kjv@Daniel:10:8 kjv@Habakkuk:3:2 kjv@Habakkuk:3:16). There seems to be evidence in holy men that this heaviness accompanies God's immediate judgment. Prophets tasted in part for the tiny nation what Jesus took upon Himself for the whole of mankind in full. It began now and did not end until "It is finished". This explanation affords Him the probability that He is not praying that the cross be avoided, but the stunning agony of the cup of God's judgment physically upon His human body be taken note of by the reader. Remember that He is soon to be sweating blood for no apparent reason and an angel has to come to minister strength to Him to continue on from the garden before the trial and scourging even begins. Why else would this be? "Sorrowful unto death" should not be understood as sorry that He will soon die, but physically dieing in human form from exceeding sorrow at this very moment. The "hour might pass" kjv@Mark:14:35 is this present hour in it's uncompromised form; now the next hour comes kjv@Mark:14:41. Further Resources: Comment Board:Mark:14:32-42
