THE MESSAGE
He came back and found them sound asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, you went to sleep on me? Can't you stick it out with me a single hour? Stay alert, be in prayer, so you don't enter the danger zone without even knowing it. Don't be naive. Part of you is eager, ready for anything in God; but another part is as lazy as an old dog sleeping by the fire."

Contextual Overview
32 And they come to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he says to his disciples, Sit here, while I pray. 33 And he takes with him Peter and James and John, and began to be greatly amazed, and very troubled. 34 And he says to them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful even to death: abide here, and watch. 35 And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him. 36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible to you; remove this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what you will. 37 And he comes, and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Simon, do you sleep? couldn't you watch one hour? 38 Watch and pray, that you don't enter into temptation: the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak. 39 And again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words. 40 And again he came, and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they didn't know what to answer him. 41 And he comes the third time, and says to them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour has come; look, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

Gill's Notes on the Bible
And he cometh and findeth them sleeping,.... His three disciples, Peter, James, and John:
and saith unto Peter; particularly, he having so lately asserted, with so much confidence, his love to Christ, and close attachment to him:
Simon, sleepest thou? Christ calls him by the name he first went by, and not by that which he had given him, Cephas, or Peter; he not now having that firmness and constancy, though he boasted of it, which answers to that name:
couldst thou not watch one hour? The Arabic and Persic versions add, with me; and so does the Complutensian edition;

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.
Clarke's Notes on the Bible
Verse 37. Saith unto Peter — Matthew 26:40; Matthew 26:40.
