Mark 14:41

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

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

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!”

43 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests, scribes, and elders.

Here the Bible tells a story about someone else. Ask yourself what it can say to us today. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
