The synoptics state that the three disciples that were with Jesus had fallen asleep, and that Jesus criticized them for failing to stay awake even for an hour, suggesting that they pray so that they could avoid temptation.
Os sinópticos afirman aínda que tres dos discípulos que alí estaban durmiron e que Xesús os criticou por non conseguiren permanecer acordados por unha hora, suxerindo que eles rezasen para evitar a tentación.
