⁴ Or, ravine. Gr. winter-torrent.

⁵ Or, of the Cedars.

^a The Synoptic Gospels do not give the great discourse of Jesus in John 14 to 17. Hence they represent Jesus as going forth to Gethsemane after the institution of the supper ([§ 148]). The time was probably not long and they apparently sang the hymn (probably one of the Psalms) as they rose to leave the Upper Room ([John 14:31]). Hence the passage in John 15 to 17 comes in between singing the hymn and reaching Gethsemane.
