Matthew 26:42-45. He went away again the second time For the sorrow of his soul still continued; and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup, &c. If it be necessary, in pursuance of the great end for which I came into the world, that I should endure these grievous sufferings, thy will be done I acquiesce in thy appointment, how painful soever it may be to flesh and blood: and he came and found them asleep again He returned thus frequently to his disciples, that by reading his... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Matthew 26:36-46

150. Jesus prays in Gethsemane (Matthew 26:36-46; Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:39-46; John 18:1)It must have been getting towards midnight by the time Jesus and his disciples reached the Garden of Gethsemane. Then, taking Peter, James and John with him, Jesus moved to a spot where they could be alone. He was filled with anguish and horror as he saw clearly what his death would mean. The three friends could do little to lessen his anguish except stay awake in sympathy with him. He had to battle... read more

E.W. Bullinger's Companion Bible Notes - Matthew 26:45

now = afterward. Not "now", for see Matthew 26:46 . If taken as meaning "henceforth" it must be a question, as in Luke 22:46 . the hour is at hand. See note on John 7:6 . the Son of man. See App-98 . read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Matthew 26:45

Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.The expression "sleep on now ..." is difficult, for, almost in the same moment, he said, "Arise, let us be going" (Matthew 26:46). Dummelow viewed it as reproachful irony, "`You have slept through my agony; sleep also through my betrayal and capture.'"[14] Broadus viewed the passage as a permissive imperative.He has no... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Matthew 26:45

Matthew 26:45. Sleep on now, &c.— Some read this interrogatively, Do you sleep on still and take repose? See Luke 22:46. This is a reproof which very well agrees with Mat 26:40-41 and the words following that passage. Into the hands of sinners, means of the Gentiles, according to the stile of the Hebrews, (see Gal 2:15) of which sort were the soldiers whom Judas brought along with him, John 18:3. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 26:36-46

Jesus’ prayer to His Father in Gethsemane 26:36-46 (cf. Mark 14:32-42; Luke 22:40-46)This pericope illustrates the importance of facing temptation with vigilance and prayer. What is more important, it reveals Jesus’ attitude toward what He was about to do. Until now, Jesus seems to have been anticipating His death with calm control and great courage. Here He appears under deep emotional stress. These attitudes harmonize with His being both the Son of God and the Servant who came to give His... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Matthew 26:45-46

Jesus’ statement, translated as a question in the NASB and NIV versions, though more properly as a statement in the AV, reflected the irony of the moment (cf. Matthew 23:2-3). [Note: C. F. D. Moule, An Idiom Book of New Testament Greek, p. 161.] Time that the disciples should have spent praying was past. Jesus’ arrest and their temptation were at hand. They might as well sleep on.The irony continues. The Son of Man’s betrayer was about to hand Him who is the Messiah over to sinners. Jesus... read more
