SCRIPTURE

"And he said unto him, Lord, with thee I am ready to go both to prison and to death." — Luke 22:33 (ASV)

And he said to him
That is, Simon, or Simeon, said to him, as the Syriac and Persic versions express it; he made a reply to Jesus, saying, as one fearless of danger, and confident in himself:

I am ready to go with you, both into prison and to death ;
he suggests, that he was not afraid of Satan, nor of his temptations, of being sifted, shaken, and tossed by him: he was not to be frightened out of his faith by him, or to be scared with a prison, and death itself; he was ready for both; and they were welcome, come when they would; and rather than part from, or deny his Lord, he was then prepared to go with him, at once, to either of them. The phrase, to go, is not in the Syriac version.
