Charles Spurgeon Commentary Mark 14:25-26

"Verily I say unto you, I shall no more drink of the fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new in the kingdom of God. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives." — Mark 14:25-26 (ASV)

I cannot resist repeating the remark I have often made about that singing of a hymn. It seems to me such a grand, brave thing for the Saviour to sing a hymn after the last meal that he would eat with his disciples before his death, when he knew that he was going forth to all the torture of Pilate's hall and to death at Calvary.

Yet he says, "Let us sing a hymn." He chose a Psalm of David and, I dare say, himself pitched a tune. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out to the Mount of Olives.
