Compare all
33 And He atook Peter, James, and John with Him, and He began to be troubled and deeply distressed.

35 He went a little farther, and fell on the ground, and prayed that if it were possible, the hour might pass from Him.
36 And He said, a“Abba, Father, ball things are possible for You. Take this cup away from Me; cnevertheless, not what I will, but what You will.”  
37 Then He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Could you not watch one hour?
38 aWatch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. bThe spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

Mark 14:35

Fell on the ground (epipten epi thv ghv). Descriptive imperfect. See him falling. Matthew has the aorist epesen.

Prayed (proshuxeto). Imperfect, prayed repeatedly or inchoative, began to pray. Either makes good sense.

The hour (h wra). Jesus had long looked forward to this "hour" and had often mentioned it (John 7:30; John 8:20; John 12:23, John 12:27; John 13:1). See again in Mark 14:41. Now he dreads it, surely a human trait that all can understand.
