Leaving most of His disciples behind, Christ asked Peter, James, and John to go with him further into the Garden of Gethsemane. Then He asked these three, "tarry ye here, and watch with me." Jesus went off to pray to His Father. When He returned, He found Peter, James, and John asleep, roused them, and asked,
Again, Christ went off to pray. When He returned, he found them asleep again. This time He didn't wake them. After another prayer, Christ returned to find them still asleep. He woke them and told them "the hour is at hand."
