Mark 14:40

Exhaustion

38 Watch and pray so that you will not enter into temptation. For the spirit is willing, but the body is weak.”

39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same thing.

And again Jesus returned and found them sleeping—for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.

41 When Jesus returned the third time, He said, “Are you still sleeping and resting? That is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42 Rise, let us go. See, My betrayer is approaching!”
