Gethsemane

My soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death; tarry ye here, and watch with me.
(Matthew 26:38)
The darkness had descended upon our Saviour; all injustice, all the hatred and malice of evil men had been heaped upon him, and he who had lived white and clean, whose entire life was given over with devotion to doing good, was on his way to the cross.
It was a bitter hour indeed when he entered the garden, drawn there by his need of help for his tortured soul. He sought a garden in his intense need to commune with his Father. He hungered, too, for human companionship and took with him Peter, James and John.
