Gethsemane: beginning to be sorrowful
Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to be sorrowful and troubled. These same disciples he had taken onto the mountain when he was to be transfigured. He began to be sorrowful — there is a great difference between being sorrowful and beginning to be sorrowful. Tempted in every way as we are, yet without sin, he was not simply swallowed by the passion’s sadness but, according to human nature, began.
Latin
Accipiens Petrum et duos filios Zebedaei coepit tristari et taediari. Hos ipsos discipulos assumpsit et in monte cum transfigurandus esset. Coepit tristari — multum interest inter tristari et incipere tristari. Tentatus per omnia secundum similitudinem praeter peccatum, non tristatus est tristitia passionis ipsius sed secundum humanam naturam coepit.
