What Does Mark 14:41 Mean?
The third return ends the vigil. Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough — the watch they never kept is over. Then the announcement that turns the stillness of the garden into history: the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Everything Jesus dreaded in prayer he now meets in peace. The struggle was real, and it was settled on his knees; he rises with the will of his Father fully embraced. The hour no longer threatens him — he announces it. Prayer had not removed the cup, but it had readied the one who must drink it. So it still does.
