Mark 14:40

40 et reversus denuo invenit eos dormientes erant enim oculi illorum ingravati et ignorabant quid responderent ei

Mark 14:40 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:40

And when he returned, he found them asleep again
Notwithstanding the expostulation he had used with them, the exhortation he had given them, and the danger he had suggested to them:

for their eyes were heavy:
with sleep and sorrow:

neither wist they what to answer him;
partly through confusion and shame, not knowing how to excuse themselves; and partly, through their being stupefied with sleep and grief.

Mark 14:40 In-Context

38 vigilate et orate ut non intretis in temptationem spiritus quidem promptus caro vero infirma
39 et iterum abiens oravit eundem sermonem dicens
40 et reversus denuo invenit eos dormientes erant enim oculi illorum ingravati et ignorabant quid responderent ei
41 et venit tertio et ait illis dormite iam et requiescite sufficit venit hora ecce traditur Filius hominis in manus peccatorum
42 surgite eamus ecce qui me tradit prope est
