The glorious vision of the angel [had] dazzled the eyes of the disciples. They remembered the mount of transfiguration, the glory that encircled Jesus in the Temple, and the voice of God issuing from the cloud. They saw the same glory here revealed, and had no further fear for their Master, since God had taken Him in charge, and an angel was present to protect Him from His foes. They were weary and heavy with sleep, and again they dropped into unconsciousness.

The Saviour arose and sought His disciples and, for the third time, found them fast asleep. His words, however, aroused them: "Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners" (Matthew 26:45).
