Exegesis
After this description of anguish, the two imperatives meinate {μείνατε | meí-na-te} ‘remain’ and gregoreite {γρηγορεῖτε | grē-go-reî-te} ‘keep watch’ stand side by side, forming a compact pair of commands that call for steadfast presence and spiritual alertness.
In context — Mark 14:34
And He says to them, “Deeply grieved is My soul to the point of death; remain here and keep watch.”
