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 He came and found them sleeping. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Couldn't you stay alert for one hour?
38 Stay alert and pray so that you won't give in to temptation. The spirit is eager, but the flesh is weak."
39 Again, he left them and prayed, repeating the same words.
40 And, again, when he came back, he found them sleeping, for they couldn't keep their eyes open, and they didn't know how to respond to him.
41 He came a third time and said to them, "Will you sleep and rest all night? That's enough! The time has come for the Human One to be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
