Matthew 26:36

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