"And they come unto a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith unto his disciples, Sit ye here, while I pray." — Mark 14:32 (ASV)
And they came to a place which is named Gethsemane
At the foot of the Mount of Olives, where the olives, which grew in great plenty on the mount, were pressed: and where our Lord began to be bruised, for our sins: and he says to his disciples :
to eight of them: sit you here while I shall pray ;
at some distance from hence; (See Gill on Matthew 26:36).
