"And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough; the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners." — Mark 14:41 (ASV)
And he comes the third time.—We may note St. Mark’s omission of the third repetition of the prayer.
It is enough.—Peculiar to St. Mark, and probably noting the transition from the half-reproachful permission, Sleep on now, and take your rest, to the emphatic and, as it were, startled exclamation, the hour is come.
Is betrayed.—The tense, as in St. Matthew, is present, “is at this moment being betrayed.”
