5And Abraham said unto his young men, Abide ye here with the ass; and I and the lad will go yonder and worship, and come again to you.

Matthew Henry on Genesis 22:6
He obliged Isaac to carry the wood (both to try his obedience in a smaller matter first, and that he might typify Christ, who carried his own cross, John xix. 17), while he himself, though he knew what he did, with a steady and undaunted resolution carried the fatal knife and fire, v. 6.
