And said unto them,
My soul is exceedingly sorrowful unto death: tarry you here, and watch.
Read Chapter 14
Hilary of Poitiers
AD 368
What is meant by “sorrowful even unto death?” It cannot mean the same as “to be sorrowful because of death”; for where there is sorrow because of death, it is the death that is the cause of the sadness. But a sadness even unto death implies that death is the completion, not the cause, of the sadness.
