My soul is exceedingly sorrowful, even unto death: tarry you here, and watch with me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:38 Go To Matthew 26
John Chrysostom
AD 407
Hom. lxxxiii: He says, “Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder,” because the disciples adhered inseparably to Christ; but it was His practice to pray apart from them, therein teaching us to study quiet and retirement for our prayers.
