Their selection underscores their unique role and the trust Jesus placed in them. This trio represents the leadership within the early church, with Peter often seen as the spokesperson, James as the first apostolic martyr (<a href="/acts/12-2.htm">Acts 12:2</a>), and John as the beloved disciple who would later write the Gospel of John, three epistles, and Revelation. Their presence here emphasizes the gravity of the moment and the need for witnesses to Jesus' profound experiences.and began to be deeply troubled and distressed This phrase captures the intense emotional and spiritual turmoil Jesus faced as He approached His crucifixion. The Greek words used here convey a sense of horror and anguish, indicating the depth of His suffering. This moment in the Garden of Gethsemane reveals Jesus' humanity, as He experiences dread and sorrow, yet it also foreshadows His obedience to the Father's will. The distress He feels is not just physical anticipation of the crucifixion but also the spiritual burden of bearing the sins of the world. This aligns with <a href="/isaiah/53-3.htm">Isaiah 53:3</a>, which describes the Messiah as "a man of sorrows, acquainted with grief."

He began to be greatly amazed, and sore troubled (e)kqambei = sqai kai\ a)dhmonei = n). These two Greek verbs are as adequately expressed above as seems possible. The first implies "utter, extreme amazement;" if the second has for its root ἄδημος, "not at home," it implies the anguish of the soul struggling to free itself from the body under the pressure of intense mental distress. The three chosen disciples were allowed to be witnesses of this awful anguish. They had been fortified to endure the sight by the glories of the transfiguration. It would have been too much for the faith of the rest. But these three witnessed it, that they might learn themselves, and be able to teach others, that the way to glory is by suffering. <a href="/commentaries/mark/14-33.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>He took παραλαμβάνει (paralambanei) Verb - Present Indicative Active - 3rd Person Singular <a href="/greek/strongs_3880.htm">Strong's 3880: </a> From para and lambano; to receive near, i.e. Associate with oneself; by analogy, to assume an office; figuratively, to learn. with μετ’ (met’) Preposition <a href="/greek/strongs_3326.htm">Strong's 3326: </a> (a) gen: with, in company with, (b) acc: (1) behind, beyond, after, of place, (2) after, of time, with nouns, neut. of adjectives.
