Mark 14:39 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:39

And again he went away
To the same place, or at much such a distance from them, as before:

and prayed and spake the same words;
or word, that is, the same matter; for (logov) , here, answers to (rbd) , which signifies a thing, or matter, as well as word: Christ prayed to the same effect, for matter and substance the same as before, though not in the same express words, as is clear from ( Matthew 26:39 Matthew 26:42 ) .

Mark 14:39 In-Context

37 Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?

38 Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

40 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41 When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
