Mark Study Notes—Chapter 14

New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (Study Edition)
- 14:35
  
  fell to the ground: Or “threw himself to the ground.” The parallel account at Mt 26:39 says that Jesus “fell facedown.” In the Bible, several postures for prayer are mentioned, including standing and kneeling. However, perhaps the humblest posture was when a person in fervent prayer would lie facedown with his body outstretched.
