22:45 When ¹  he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping, exhausted ²  from grief. 22:46 So ³  he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you will not fall into temptation!” ⁴ 

Daniel 8:18

Daniel 10:9

10:9 I listened to his voice, ⁶  and as I did so ⁷  I fell into a trance-like sleep with my face to the ground.

Matthew 26:40-43

26:40 Then he came to the disciples and found them sleeping. He ⁸  said to Peter, “So, couldn’t you stay awake with me for one hour? 26:41 Stay awake and pray that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” 26:42 He went away a second time and prayed, ⁹  “My Father, if this cup ¹⁰  cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will must be done.” 26:43 He came again and found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. ¹¹ 

¹ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated because of differences between Greek and English style.

² tn Grk “from grief.” The word “exhausted” is not in the Greek text, but is implied; the disciples have fallen asleep from mental and emotional exhaustion resulting from their distress (see L&N 25.273; cf. TEV, NIV, NLT).

³ tn Here καί (kai) has been translated as “so” to indicate the implied result of Jesus finding them asleep.

⁴ sn Jesus calls the disciples again to prayerful watchfulness with the words “Get up and pray” (see 22:40). The time is full of danger (22:53).

⁵ tn Heb “on my standing.”

⁶ tc Heb “I heard the sound of his words.” These words are absent in the LXX and the Syriac.

⁷ tn Heb “as I listened to the sound of his words.”

⁸ tn Here καί (kai) has not been translated.

⁹ tn Grk “saying.” The participle λέγων (legwn) is redundant here in contemporary English and has not been translated.

¹⁰ tn Grk “this”; the referent (the cup) has been specified in the translation for clarity.

¹¹ tn Grk “because their eyes were weighed down,” an idiom for becoming extremely or excessively sleepy (L&N 23.69).
