Bible verse
Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
Matthew 26:40 · BSB
The verses around it, from Matthew 26.
36 At that time Jesus went with His disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and He told them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.”
37 He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee and began to be sorrowful and deeply distressed.
38 Then He said to them, “My soul is consumed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with Me.”
39 Going a little farther, He fell facedown and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me. Yet not as I will, but as You will.”
40 Then Jesus returned to the disciples and found them sleeping. “Were you not able to keep watch with Me for one hour?” He asked Peter.
41 “Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”
42 A second time He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cup cannot pass unless I drink it, may Your will be done.”
43 And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy.
44 So He left them and went away once more and prayed a third time, saying the same thing.
