Mark 14:37 Meaning and Commentary

Mark 14:37

And he cometh and findeth them sleeping
His three disciples, Peter, James, and John:

and saith unto Peter;
particularly, he having so lately asserted, with so much confidence, his love to Christ, and close attachment to him:

Simon, sleepest thou?
Christ calls him by the name he first went by, and not by that which he had given him, Cephas, or Peter; he not now having that firmness and constancy, though he boasted of it, which answers to that name:

couldst thou not watch one hour?
The Arabic and Persic versions add, with me; and so does the Complutensian edition; (See Gill on Matthew 26:40).

Mark 14:37 In-Context

35 Going a little farther, he fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from him.

36 “Abba,Father,” he said, “everything is possible for you. Take this cup from me. Yet not what I will, but what you will.”

37 Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Simon,” he said to Peter, “are you asleep? Couldn’t you keep watch for one hour?

38 Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

39 Once more he went away and prayed the same thing.
