MARK 14:40 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 0
“And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him.”
When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. They did not know what to say to him — the heavy eyes communicate genuine physical exhaustion — it is past midnight, they have eaten the Passover, they are in the warmth of the spring night. They did not know what to say to him: the silence of shame. There is nothing adequate to say to the one who prayed while they slept.
