Mark:14:35 @{Fell on the ground} (\epipten epi ts gs\). Descriptive imperfect. See him falling. Matthew has the aorist \epesen\. {Prayed} (\prosucheto\). Imperfect, prayed repeatedly or inchoative, began to pray. Either makes good sense. {The hour} (\h hra\). Jesus had long looked forward to this "hour" and had often mentioned it (John:7:30; strkjv@8:20; strkjv@12:23,27; strkjv@13:1|). See again in strkjv@Mark:14:41|. Now he dreads it, surely a human trait that all can understand.
rwp@Mark:14:41 @{It is enough} (\apechei\). Alone in Mark. This impersonal use is rare and has puzzled expositors no little. The papyri (Deissmann's _Light from the Ancient East_ and Moulton and Milligan's _Vocabulary_) furnish many examples of it as a receipt for payment in full. See also strkjv@Matthew:6:2ff.; strkjv@Luke:6:24; strkjv@Phillipians:4:18| for the notion of paying in full. It is used here by Jesus in an ironical sense, probably meaning that there was no need of further reproof of the disciples for their failure to watch with him. "This is no time for a lengthened exposure of the faults of friends; the enemy is at the gate" (Swete). See further on ¯Matthew:26:45| for the approach of Judas.
