Theophylact of Ohrid, on Mark 14:32

“And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray.”

“But some have understood this, as if He had said, I am sorrowful, not because I am to die, but because the Jews, my countrymen, are about to crucify me, and by these means to be shut out from the kingdom of God.”
