Mateo 26:43

43 Y vino, y los halló otra vez durmiendo; porque los ojos de ellos estaban agravados.

Mateo 26:43 Meaning and Commentary

Matthew 26:43

And he came and found them asleep again
For they were aroused and awaked, in some measure, by what he had said to them; but no sooner was he gone but they fell asleep again, and thus he found them a second time; or, "he came again and found them asleep"; so read the Vulgate Latin, the Syriac, Arabic, and Ethiopic versions, and Munster's Hebrew Gospel:

for their eyes were heavy;
with sleep through fatigue, sorrow Mark adds, "neither wist they what to answer him", ( Mark 14:40 ) ; they were so very sleepy, they knew not how to speak; or they were so confounded, that he should take them asleep a second time, after they had had such a reproof, and exhortation from him, that they knew not what answer to make him; who probably rebuked them again, or gave them a fresh exhortation.

Mateo 26:43 In-Context

41 Velad y orad, para que no entréis en tentación: el espíritu á la verdad está presto, mas la carne enferma.

42 Otra vez fué, segunda vez, y oró diciendo. Padre mío, si no puede este vaso pasar de mí sin que yo lo beba, hágase tu voluntad.

43 Y vino, y los halló otra vez durmiendo; porque los ojos de ellos estaban agravados.

44 Y dejándolos fuése de nuevo, y oró tercera vez, diciendo las mismas palabras.

45 Entonces vino á sus discípulos y díceles: Dormid ya, y descansad: he aquí ha llegado la hora, y el Hijo del hombre es entregado en manos de pecadores.
