Charles Spurgeon Commentary Matthew 26:29-30

"But I say unto you, I shall not drink henceforth of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father`s kingdom. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out unto the mount of Olives." — Matthew 26:29-30 (ASV)

But I say unto you, I will not drink from now on of this fruit of the vine, until that day when I drink it new with you in my Father's kingdom. And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.

Was it not brave of our dear Lord to join in singing a hymn at such a time as that, and under such circumstances? He knew that he was very soon to die; he was going out to his last dread conflict; yet he went to it singing a Psalm. It was to his Passion that he was going—to Gethsemane's agony and bloody sweat; yet he led the way there with a sacred song upon his lips: And when they had sung a hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
