Matthew 26:40-43

Context
26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He 1  said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour? 26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, 2  “My Father, if this cup 3  cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. 4 

1 tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

2 tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

3 tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

4 tn Grk “because their eyes were weighed down,” an idiom for becoming extremely or excessively sleepy (L&N 23.69).
