Verse 36. A place called Gethsemane] A garden at the foot of the mount of Olives. The name seems to be formed from גת gath, a press, and סמן shemen, oil; probably the place where the produce of the mount of Olives was prepared for use. The garden of the oilpress, or olive-press.

Sit ye here] Or, stay in this place, while I go and pray yonder: and employ ye the time as I shall employ it - in watching unto prayer.
