Contextual Overview
32They all saddled up and rode off toward Gethsemane. When they got there, he told all the cowboys to wait there and pray.
33He motioned for Pete, James, and John to follow him. Jesus looked worse than they'd ever seen him and
34he told them, "I want y'all to stay here with me. I'm so full of dread that my heart feels like it's going to stop. Please keep me company. I need y'all right now, pards."
35Jesus went far enough as to be out of sight and fell down to his knees. He looked up to heaven and said,
36"Dad, you can find another way—can't you? It doesn't have to happen like this, does it? I sure don't want to drink from this cup of agony that sits before me."After a moment's pause, he continued, "But you know what, Dad? It's not about what I want. It's about what you want."
37He got up and went back to where he'd left Pete, James, and John. They were all sound asleep. He woke Pete up and said, "Did you really fall asleep at a time like this?
38Keep a sharp lookout. Start praying so you will not be ambushed by any sinful temptations. I know you want to do what's right, but talk is cheap."
39Jesus went back to his prayer spot for a while and then returned only to find them all asleep again.
40They woke up and just kind of sat there, unsure what to say. They knew they had messed up again.
41He went away again and came back a third time, only to find them asleep again. He got them up and said, "Y'all rested up now? Enough is enough. The time has come and here is the betrayer bringing the wolves into the sheep pen.

and be saith to his disciples: to eight of them:

Barnes' Notes on the Bible
See the notes at Matthew 26:36-46.
Mark 14:36
ÎÌββα Abba This word denotes âfather.â It is a Syriac word, and is used by the Saviour as a word denoting filial affection and tenderness. Compare Romans 8:15.
Mark 14:40
Neither wist they ... - Neither âknewâ they. They were so conscious of the impropriety of sleeping at that time, that they could not find any answer to give to the inquiry why they had done it.
Mark 14:41
It is enough - There has been much difficulty in determining the meaning of this phrase. Campbell translates it, âall is overâ - that is, the time when you could have been of service to me is gone by. They might have aided him by watching for him when they were sleeping, but now the time was past, and he was already, as it were, in the hands of his enemies. It is not improbable, however, that after his agony some time elapsed before Judas came. He had required them to watch - that is, to keep awake during that season of agony. After that they might have been suffered to sleep, while Jesus watched alone. As he saw Judas approach he probably roused them, saying, It is sufficient - as much repose has been taken as is allowable - the enemy is near, and the Son of man is about to be betrayed.
