Mark 14:37-42

Contemporary English Version

³⁷ When Jesus came back and found the disciples sleeping, he said to Simon Peter, “Are you asleep? Can't you stay awake for just one hour? ³⁸ Stay awake and pray that you won't be tested. You want to do what is right, but you are weak.”

³⁹ Jesus went back and prayed the same prayer. ⁴⁰ But when he returned to the disciples, he found them sleeping again. They simply could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to say.

⁴¹ When Jesus returned to the disciples the third time, he said, “Are you still sleeping and resting?^[a] Enough of this! The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinners. ⁴² Get up! Let's go. The one who will betray me is already here.”
