 {Gethsemane} (Geths(886d)anei). The word means oil-press in
the Hebrew, or olive vat. The place (ch(9372)ion) was an enclosed
plot or estate, "garden," or orchard (k(8870)os). It is called
_villa_ in the Vulgate according to  Joh 18:1 . It was beyond the
torrent Kedron at the foot of the Mount of Olives about
three-fourths of a mile from the eastern walls of Jerusalem.
There are now eight old olive trees still standing in this
enclosure. One cannot say that they are the very trees near which
Jesus had his Agony, but they are very old. "They will remain so
long as their already protracted life is spared, the most
venerable of their race on the surface of the earth. Their
guarded trunks and scanty foliage will always be regarded as the
most affecting of the sacred memorials in or about Jerusalem"
(Stanley, _Sinai and Palestine_). {Here} (autou), {Yonder}
(ekei). Jesus clearly pointed to the place where he would pray.
Literally "there."
