SEV Biblia, Chapter 14:33
Y toma consigo a Pedro y a Jacobo y a Juan, y comenz a atemorizarse, y a angustiarse.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 33. And he taketh with him Peter, and James, and John , etc..] Who were witnesses of his transfiguration on the mount, and now of his sorrows in the garden: and began to be sore amazed ; to be in great consternation and astonishment, at the sight of all the sins of his people coming upon him; at the black storm of wrath, that was gathering thick over him; at the sword of justice which was brandished against him; and at the curses of the righteous law, which, like so many thunderbolts of vengeance, were directed at him: no wonder it should be added, and to be very heavy: both with sin and sorrow ; (see Gill on Matthew 26:37).
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 32-42 - Christ's sufferings began with the sorest of all, those in his soul. He began to be sorely amazed; words not used in St. Matthew, but very ful of meaning. The terrors of God set themselves in array against him, an he allowed him to contemplate them. Never was sorrow like unto his a this time. Now he was made a curse for us; the curses of the law wer laid upon him as our Surety. He now tasted death, in all the bitternes of it. This was that fear of which the apostle speaks, the natural fea of pain and death, at which human nature startles. Can we eve entertain favourable, or even slight thoughts of sin, when we see the painful sufferings which sin, though but reckoned to him, brought of the Lord Jesus? Shall that sit light upon our souls, which sat so heav upon his? Was Christ in such agony for our sins, and shall we never be in agony about them? How should we look upon Him whom we have pierced and mourn! It becomes us to be exceedingly sorrowful for sin, becaus He was so, and never to mock at it. Christ, as Man, pleaded, that, i it were possible, his sufferings might pass from him. As Mediator, he submitted to the will of God, saying, Nevertheless, not what I will but what thou wilt; I bid it welcome. See how the sinful weakness of Christ's disciples returns, and overpowers them. What heavy clogs thes bodies of ours are to our souls! But when we see trouble at the door we should get ready for it. Alas, even believers often look at the Redeemer's sufferings in a drowsy manner, and instead of being ready to die with Christ, they are not even prepared to watch with him one hour.

Vincent's NT Word Studies
33. To be sore amazed (ekqambeisqai). A word peculiar to Mark. Compare ix. 15; xvi. 5, 6.
Robertson's NT Word Studies
14:33 {Greatly amazed and sore troubled} (ekqambeisqai kai ademonein). #Mt 26:37 has "sorrowful and sore troubled." See on Matt. about ademonein. Mark alone uses exqambeisqai (here and in #9:15). There is a papyrus example given by Moulton and Milligan's _Vocabulary_. The verb qambew occurs in #Mr 10:32 for the amazement of the disciples at the look of Jesus as he went toward Jerusalem. Now Jesus himself feels amazement as he directly faces the struggle in the Garden of Gethsemane. He wins the victory over himself in Gethsemane and qen he can endure the loss, despising the shame. For the moment he is rather amazed and homesick for heaven. "Long as He had foreseen the Passion, when it came clearly into view its terror exceeded His anticipations" (Swete). "He learned from what he suffered," (#Heb 5:8) and this new experience enriched the human soul of Jesus.
