Having finished His prayer and His discourse, Jesus ἐξῆλθε, “went out” from the city, as is suggested by πέραν τοῦ χειμάρρου, “to the other side of the torrent,” cf. John 6:1. χείμαρρος sc. χειμάρροος ποταμός, a stream that flows in winter, a torrent; of Jabbok, Genesis 32:22; of Kidron, 2 Samuel 15:23. τῶν Κέδρων, “the Kidron,” described in Henderson's Palestine, 90. ὅπου ἦν κῆπος “where was a garden,” in Mark 14:32, described as χωρίον (a country place, or estate), and called Γεθσημανῆ. The owner was probably a friend of Jesus. Into this garden He went with His disciples.
