Meet the Apostles: sleeping on the job by ric Gustafson
According to Matthew 26: 38, Jesus asked the Apostles to stay and keep watch with him. It was a simple request from Jesus himself. He went away to pray. When he returned, his three closest friends were sound asleep. In verse 40, he asks Peter why he couldn't stay awake. He leaves to go pray again. He comes back to find his friends asleep again.
Jesus goes to pray a third time. He comes back to find them asleep again. He wakes them up to inform them that Judas and the soldiers had come.
I pray that I can always help others and not sleep on the job.
