Bible verse
And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
Mark 14:40 · BSB
The verses around it, from Mark 14.
36 “Abba, Father,” He said, “all things are possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will.”
37 Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?
38 Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41 When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
43 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.
44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away securely.”
