"Tarry ye here, and watch with Me." Matthew 26:38. He went a short distance from them, and fell prostrate upon the ground. He felt that by sin He was being separated from the Father. The gulf between them appeared so broad, so black, so deep, that He shuddered before it. Christ was not suffering for his own sins, but for the sins of the world. He was feeling the displeasure of God against sin as the sinner will feel it in the great judgment day.

"Bliv her og våg med mig!" Matt.26,38. Derpå gik han et lille stykke bort fra dem og faldt ned med ansigtet mod jorden. Han følte, at han på grund af synd var ved at blive skilt fra Faderen. Kløften imellem dem forekom ham så dyb, så bred og så mørk, at han gyste derved. Jesus led ikke for sine egne synder, men for verdens synder. Han følte Guds mishag over for synden, således som synderen vil føle det på dommens dag.
