Matthew 26:46
"Then he came to his disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners."
Key Reflection
Jesus' words underscore both the disciples' spiritual lethargy and the imminent peril they face. By asking if they are still sleeping, Jesus highlights their lack of vigilance just as the betrayal by Judas looms. This moment serves as a stark reminder of the need for constant watchfulness in the face of impending suffering and sacrifice.
