Mark 15:32-42
Jesus in Gethsemane took his disciples with him to pray immediatley before his arrest. He asked them to keep watch with him even though he went a little further to be alone in his secret place. When he returned not once but three times they were sleeping. The disciples were a lot like me. The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak. After the third such incident Jesus came back and said to them "Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The hour has come. Look, the son of man is betrayed".
It appears that Jesus was upset that they could not recogize the hour they faced and time was over.
Let us not be caught asleep when time has elapsed. And Jesus says to us "Enough!".
