Mark 14:39 In-Context

37 He went back and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake for one hour?

38 Stay awake, and pray that you won't be tempted. You want to do what's right, but you're weak."

39 He went away again and prayed the same prayer as before.

40 He found them asleep because they couldn't keep their eyes open. They didn't even know what they should say to him.

41 He came back a third time and said to them, "You might as well sleep now. It's all over. The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners.
