'Stay' in the Bible
But when the man left, he began to proclaim it freely. He spread the news so widely that Jesus could no longer enter a town openly, but had to stay out in deserted places. Still, people kept coming to him from everywhere.
He told them repeatedly, "Whenever you go into a home, stay there until you leave that place.
So he told them, "I'm deeply grieved, even to the point of death. Wait here and stay awake."
When he went back, he found his disciples asleep. "Simon, are you asleep?" he asked Peter. "You couldn't stay awake for one hour, could you?
All of you must stay awake and pray that you won't be tempted. The spirit is indeed willing, but the body is weak."
