Mateo 26:43

43 Y vino otra vez y los halló durmiendo, porque sus ojos estaban cargados de sueño.

Mateo 26:43 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:43

And he came and found them asleep again
For they were aroused and awaked, in some measure, by what he had said to them; but no sooner was he gone but they fell asleep again, and thus he found them a second time; or, "he came again and found them asleep"; so read the Vulgate Latin, the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel:

for their eyes were heavy;
with sleep through fatigue, sorrow Mark adds, "neither wist they what to answer him", ( Mark 14:40 ) ; they were so very sleepy, they knew not how to speak; or they were so confounded, that he should take them asleep a second time, after they had had such a reproof, and exhortation from him, that they knew not what answer to make him; who probably rebuked them again, or gave them a fresh exhortation.

Mateo 26:43 In-Context

41 Velad y orad para que no entréis en tentación; el espíritu está dispuesto, pero la carne es débil.

42 Apartándose de nuevo, oró por segunda vez, diciendo: Padre mío, si ésta no puede pasar sin que yo la beba, hágase tu voluntad.

43 Y vino otra vez y los halló durmiendo, porque sus ojos estaban cargados de sueño.

44 Dejándolos de nuevo, se fue y oró por tercera vez, diciendo otra vez las mismas palabras.

45 Entonces vino<***> a los discípulos y les dijo<***>: ¿Todavía estáis durmiendo y descansando? He aquí, ha llegado la hora, y el Hijo del Hombre es entregado en manos de pecadores.
