Context of Mark 14:40

38Keep [actively] watching and praying so that you do not come into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” 39He went away again and prayed, saying the same words. And again He came back and found them sleeping, because their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know how to answer Him. 41He came back a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough [of that]! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 42Get up, let us go. Look, my betrayer is near!”

This was…Read the comment
