Historical Commentaries

Scholarly Analysis and Interpretation.

It is enough - There has been much difficulty in determining the meaning of this phrase. Campbell translates it, "all is over" - that is, the time when you could have been of service to me is gone by. They might have aided him by watching for him when they were sleeping, but now the time was past, and he was already, as it were, in the hands of his enemies. It is not improbable, however, that after his agony some time elapsed before Judas came. He had required them to watch - that is, to keep awake during that season of agony. After that they might have been suffered to sleep, while Jesus watched alone. As he saw Judas approach he probably roused them, saying, It is sufficient - as much repose has been taken as is allowable - the enemy is near, and the Son of man is about to be betrayed.

And he cometh the third time,.... After he had prayed a third time, to the same purport as before:
and saith unto them, sleep on now, and take your rest; which words are spoken ironically:
it is enough; or "the end is come"; as the Syriac and Arabic versions render it, of watching and praying:
the hour is come, behold the son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners; both Jews and Gentiles, by one of his own disciples; See Gill on Matthew 26:45.
