Mark

Mark 14:37–40

³⁷Then Jesus returned and found them sleeping. “Simon, are you asleep?” He asked. “Were you not able to keep watch for one hour? ³⁸Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

³⁹Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing. ⁴⁰And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
