MARK 14:33 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy;”
He took Peter, James and John along with him, and he began to be deeply distressed and troubled — the inner three are taken further in — the same three who were at the transfiguration. Deeply distressed and troubled (ekthambēisthai kai adēmonein) — the two words together communicate the most acute emotional distress described in the Gospel: anguish and horror. The Gethsemane prayer is the emotional center of the passion narrative.
