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 And he cometh and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Couldst thou not watch one hour?

38 Watch ye: and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39 And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.

40 And when he returned, he found them again asleep (for their eyes were heavy): and they knew not what to answer him.

41 And he cometh the third time and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest. It is enough. The hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.
