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?
