why would he be sad if he already knew what was going to happen?
it's like forgetting what it's like to reason or understand and know something you were privy to. if jesus was god he had the experience of knowing everything but jesus seemed pretty clueless. this makes no sense.
He didn't seem clueless. Read John 18.
(John 18:4-11 [NIV]) Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?"Jesus of Nazareth, they replied. "I am he," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.)When Jesus said, "I am he," they drew back and fell to the ground.Again he asked them, "Who is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth."I told you that I am he, Jesus answered. "If you are looking for me, then let these men go."This happened so that the words he had spoken would be fulfilled: "I have not lost one of those you gave me."Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The servant's name was Malchus.)Jesus commanded Peter, "Put your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given me?"
For His sadness, at least consider His carrying all the sins of mankind. Consider the death on cross. Doesn't this make a human being sad. Yes, He knew all what was going to happen, but as human He felt sad. And He also taught us to pray when we are sad.
but i am not satisfied with your answer can you elaborate or give me something else to go on in order for me to understand why jesus wanted to escape and have the apostles stand guard in the gospel of mark?
I said He didn't want to escape. [
Jesus, knowing all that was going to happen to him, went out and asked them, "Who is it you want?" ]
If you are referring to this:
(Mark 14:42 [NIV]) Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!"
(Mark 14:42 [KJV]) Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand.
I said He was going to meet him, not to escape from him.[which is also evident in John 18] He had already told them that one of them was going to betray Him.
(Mark 14:18 [NIV]) While they were reclining at the table eating, he said, "I tell you the truth,
one of you will betray me--one who is eating with me."
“Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?
yes the apostle were to stand watch...
but for what?
I said "stand watch" here means "keep awake". I gave you the Greek word, and sites to check.
(Mark 14:38 [NIV]) Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak."
I already showed you He didn't ask for and didn't need their protection.
34 “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,...”
why wouldn't jesus dying of sorrow be good enough for atonement?
(Romans 6:23 [NIV])
For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Edit: And this:
(Hebrews 9:22 [NIV]) In fact, the law requires that nearly everything be cleansed with blood, and
without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.
“...everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”
this makes no sense
Simply, as man. He showed us His suffer as human and He taught us such a prayer.
