Matthew 26:40

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

When he came back he found them asleep again, for they could hardly keep their eyes open.

As the bridegroom was slow in coming, they all grew drowsy and fell asleep.

When he went back he found them asleep and he said to Peter, "Simon, are you asleep? Were you not able to watch for one hour?

Peter and his companions had been overcome by sleep, but waking up they saw his glorious appearance and the two men standing by him.

When he got up from his prayer, he went to the disciples and found them asleep from sorrow.

Peter said to him, "Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you!" All the disciples said so too.

But he denied it before them all, and said, "I do not know what you mean."

You must look out and be on the alert, for you do not know when it will be time;

So the man who thinks he can stand must be on his guard against a fall.
