Matthew 26:40-41 NIV
> Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Couldn’t
> you men keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. 41 “Watch
> and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is
> willing, but the flesh is weak.”
How does sleep put the apostles into temptation? I understand why they should pray but how the sleep can put them into temptation? Can a sleep be a doorway to a devil? Or what is Jesus talking about here according to the Roman Catholic Church teaching? What is the context?
