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).
