This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
What mean ye to weep, and to break mine heart? a strange strife, who should overcome by loving most, as in that betwixt David and Jonathan, 1Sa_20:41,42. This undaunted champion, who did not seem to feel any of his own afflictions and miseries, yet grieves for the grief and sympathy of others, and bears a double weight in his burdens; one directly and immediately from them, as lying upon himself; the other mediately, as recoiling from others (who suffered with him) unto him again.
But also to die; as Christ’s love for us was stronger than death, Son_8:6, so must our love be to him again, or it is not of the same nature with his, nor begotten by it.
For the name of the Lord Jesus; his truth, and glory.
