SEV Biblia, Chapter 26:46
Levantaos, vamos; he aquí ha llegado el que me ha entregado.
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:46
Verse 46. Rise, let us be going] That is, to meet them, giving thereby the fullest proof that I know all their designs, and might have, by flight or otherwise, provided for my own safety; but I go willingly to meet that death which their malice designs me, and, through it, provide for the life of the world.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 46. Rise, let us be going , etc.] Not to run away from the enemy, but to meet him: this was said, partly to arouse his sleepy disciples; and partly to show his love to his Father, and his submission to his will; as also to express the fortitude of his mind as man; he was now rid of his fears, and free from those agonies and dreadful apprehensions of things, he was but a little while ago possessed of; and likewise, to signify his willingness to be apprehended, and to suffer, and die, in the room of his people: he is at hand that doth betray me . This shows his omniscience: he not only knew, as he did from the beginning, who should betray him; but he knew when be would do it; and he knew where the betrayer now was, that he was just now coming upon him, in order to deliver him the hands of sinful men. And this he spake with trepidity of soul, with greatness of mind, being no more concerned at it, than when he gave him the sop, and bid him do what he did quickly: he does not mention his name; nor did he ever, when he spoke of him as the betrayer; either because the disciples, as yet, did not fully and certainly know who should betray him, and he would not now surprise them with it; or because they did, and therefore it was needless to mention his name; or rather, because he was unworthy to be mentioned by name: a behold is prefixed to this, partly to awaken the attention of his disciples; and partly to express what an horrid, insolent, and unparalleled action that was, Judas was now about to be guilty of.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 36-46 - He who made atonement for the sins of mankind, submitted himself in garden of suffering, to the will of God, from which man had revolted in a garden of pleasure. Christ took with him into that part of the garde where he suffered his agony, only those who had witnessed his glory in his transfiguration. Those are best prepared to suffer with Christ, wh have by faith beheld his glory. The words used denote the most entir dejection, amazement, anguish, and horror of mind; the state of on surrounded with sorrows, overwhelmed with miseries, and almos swallowed up with terror and dismay. He now began to be sorrowful, an never ceased to be so till he said, It is finished. He prayed that, i possible, the cup might pass from him. But he also showed his perfec readiness to bear the load of his sufferings; he was willing to submi to all for our redemption and salvation. According to this example of Christ, we must drink of the bitterest cup which God puts into ou hands; though nature struggle, it must submit. It should be more ou care to get troubles sanctified, and our hearts satisfied under them than to get them taken away. It is well for us that our salvation is in the hand of One who neither slumbers nor sleeps. All are tempted, but we should be much afraid of entering into temptation. To be secure from this, we should watch and pray, and continually look unto the Lor to hold us up that we may be safe. Doubtless our Lord had a clear an full view of the sufferings he was to endure, yet he spoke with the greatest calmness till this time. Christ was a Surety, who undertook to be answerable for our sins. Accordingly he was made sin for us, an suffered for our sins, the Just for the unjust; and Scripture ascribe his heaviest sufferings to the hand of God. He had full knowledge of the infinite evil of sin, and of the immense extent of that guilt for which he was to atone; with awful views of the Divine justice an holiness, and the punishment deserved by the sins of men, such as n tongue can express, or mind conceive. At the same time, Christ suffere being tempted; probably horrible thoughts were suggested by Satan tha tended to gloom and every dreadful conclusion: these would be the mor hard to bear from his perfect holiness. And did the load of impute guilt so weigh down the soul of Him of whom it is said, He upholdet all things by the word of his power? into what misery then must thos sink whose sins are left upon their own heads! How will those escap who neglect so great salvation?

Robertson's NT Word Studies
26:46 {He is at hand} (eggiken). The same verb and tense used of the hour above, present perfect active of eggizw, to draw near, the very form used by John the Baptist of the coming of the kingdom of heaven (#Mt 3:2). Whether Jesus heard the approach of the betrayer with the crowd around him or saw the lights or just felt the proximity of the traitor before he was there (J. Weiss), we do not know and it matters little. The scene is pictured as it happened with lifelike power.
