I noticed that I left out a verse in our devotional guide (verse 43): Again he came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
How harsh are the words of Jesus, yet how true: Are you still sleeping and relaxing? Now it is time. The Son of Man is betrayed into sinners' hands.
Did you ever notice the flow of these and the preceding verse? Only after Jesus prays: Let this cup pass, but Thy will be done does the sequence of events unfold. The sovereignty of Christ is made manifest even as he is handed over.
