In Luke 9:32, disciples sleep at the Transfiguration; here they sleep from sorrow—both show human weakness at key moments.

Matthew 26:40 is the parallel account of Jesus finding the disciples sleeping — same event, same detail of sleep from sorrow.

In Matthew 26:43, this same Gethsemane scene repeats: Jesus finds them asleep again, their eyes heavy — parallel detail of their exhaustion.

In Mark 14:37, Jesus specifically addresses Peter, asking if he could not keep watch — adding personal rebuke to the discovery of sleep.

In Mark 14:40, the disciples are again asleep, their eyes heavy, and they are speechless — emphasizing their helplessness.

In Mark 14:41, Jesus returns a third time and declares the hour has come — linking their sleep to the imminent betrayal.

In Mark 13:37, Jesus commands everyone to 'watch' — directly contrasting with the disciples' failure to stay awake here.

In John 16:6, sorrow fills their hearts; here that sorrow causes them to sleep. Emotional state connects.
