Christ foretells his own death.
The rulers conspire against him.

47 and being betrayed by a kiss,
57 is carried to Caiaphas,
69 and denied of Peter.

Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

That is, as it is well paraphrased by Euthymius, "Since you have thus far failed to watch, sleep on the rest of the time, and take your rest, if you can."
