Key Reflection

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Be not far from me -Do not withdraw from me; do not leave or forsake me. For trouble is near -Near, in the sense that deep sorrow has come upon me; near, in the sense that I am approaching a dreadful death. For there is none to help -Margin, as in Hebrew, “not a helper.” There were those who would have helped, but they could not; there were those who could have helped, but they would not. His friends that stood around the cross were unable to aid him; his foes were unwilling to do it; and he was left to suffer unhelped.
