And said unto them, why sleep ye?

Luke 22:46 In-Context

44 In his anguish he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.]
45 When he got up from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping because of grief,
46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not come into the time of trial."
47 While he was still speaking, suddenly a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him;
48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, is it with a kiss that you are betraying the Son of Man?"
