LUKE 22:45 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow,”
When he rose from prayer and went back to the disciples, he found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow — asleep, exhausted from sorrow (apo tēs lypēs, from grief): Luke's explanation of the disciples' sleep. The sorrow that should have kept them awake has overwhelmed them. The grief is genuine — the disciples are not callous but overwhelmed.
