14:41-42 The content of Jesus’ prayer was probably the same as before (see 14:35-36, 39). The third failure of Peter, James, and John to watch and pray recalls Jesus’ prediction that Peter would deny him three times (14:30, 66-72). • The words sleep and have your rest can be interpreted as a command, as in the NLT. Others take it as an exclamation (“You are sleeping and resting!”). Still others take it as a rhetorical question (“Are you sleeping and resting?”). • the time (literally hour) has come: The passion of Jesus had begun, the hour for pouring out the blood of the sacrificial lamb (14:24). This statement coincided with the arrival of Judas and the armed crowd seeking to seize Jesus. Jesus was betrayed into the hands of sinners for whom he willingly went to the cross (2:17; 10:45; 14:21). • Up, let’s be going: Jesus accepted the cup God had given him. He went out to defeat his enemies by dying for them.
