Footnotes

  1. 49 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.
  2. 50 Grk “he”; the referent (Jesus) has been specified in the translation for clarity.
  3. 51 Grk “and James,” but καί (kai) has not been translated since English normally uses a coordinating conjunction only between the last two elements in a series of three or more.
  4. 52 The word means “Father” in Aramaic.
  5. 53 This cup alludes to the wrath of God that Jesus would experience (in the form of suffering and death) for us. See Ps 11:6; 75:8–9; Isa 51:17, 19, 22 for this figure.
  6. 54 Here καί (kai) has been translated as “then” to indicate the implied sequence of events within the narrative.

And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch.
