Mark 14:41

41 And he came the third time, and said to them [and saith to them], Sleep ye now, and rest ye; it sufficeth. The hour is come; lo! man's Son shall be betrayed into the hands of sinful men [lo! man's son shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners].

Mark 14:41 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:41

And he cometh the third time
After he had prayed a third time, to the same purport as before:

and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest;
which words are spoken ironically:

it is enough;
or "the end is come"; as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it, of watching and praying:

the hour is come, behold the son of man is betrayed into the hands
of sinners;
both Jews and Gentiles, by one of his own disciples; (See Gill on Matthew 26:45).

Mark 14:41 In-Context

39 And again he went, and prayed, and said the same word;
40 and he turned again, and again found them sleeping; for their eyes were heavied. And they knew not [And they wist not], what they should answer to him.
41 And he came the third time, and said to them [and saith to them], Sleep ye now, and rest ye; it sufficeth. The hour is come; lo! man's Son shall be betrayed into the hands of sinful men [lo! man's son shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners].
42 Rise ye, go we; lo! he that shall betray me is nigh.
43 And yet while he spake, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, came, and with him much people with swords and staves, sent from the high priests, and the scribes, and from the elder men. [And, yet him speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, came, and with him much company with swords and staves, sent from the highest priests, and scribes, and elder men.]
