And when he rose up from prayer After this dreadful conflict; and was come to his disciples Namely, the third time; notwithstanding the repeated admonitions he had given them, he again found them sleeping And that, as the evangelist says, for sorrow The sensations of grief which they felt at the sight of their Master's distress so overpowering them, that they sunk into sleep; a circumstance which shows how much they were affected with his sufferings. And said unto them, Why sleep ye Why do you still persist to sleep at such a season as this? I call upon you yet once more, to rise and pray, lest ye enter into and fall by the approaching most dangerous temptation. See the various circumstances attending this dreadful scene of our Lord's sufferings in the garden more fully elucidated in the notes on Matthew 26:36-46; and Mark 14:32, &c.
