Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me.
All Commentaries on Matthew 26:46 Go To Matthew 26
Jerome
AD 420
Having concluded His third prayer, and having obtained that the Apostles 'terror should be corrected by subsequent penitence, He goes forth undaunted bythe prospect of His own Passion to meet His pursuers, and offers Himself voluntarily to be sacrificed. "Arise, let us be going;” as much as tosay, Let them not find you trembling, let us go forth willingly to death, that they may see us confident and rejoicing in suffering; “Lo, he that shall betray me draweth near.”
