Matthew 26:40

Matthew 26:40. And he cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?

Peter had constituted himself the spokesman of the apostolic company, so the Master addressed the question to him, though it also applied to his companions: "What, could ye not watch with me one hour?" They had all declared their devotion to him, yet they had fallen asleep while he had bidden them watch.
