Charles Ellicott Commentary Matthew 26:43

"And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy." — Matthew 26:43 (ASV)

He came and found them asleep again—The motive for this return, we may reverently believe, was the same as before: a craving for human sympathy in that hour of awful agony. He does not rouse them or speak to them now. He looks at them sorrowfully, and they meet His gaze with bewildered and stupefied astonishment. They wist not what to answer Him (Mark 14:40).
