Then he said to them: my soul is very sorrowful, even to death; remain here, and watch with me. The depth of the sorrow — very sorrowful, even to death — and the request to remain and watch communicates the vulnerability and the need for human companionship in the hour of the most extreme spiritual anguish. The watch communicates the Olivet Discourse's watch command applied to the disciples in the most immediate and personal way.
