‏ Mark 14:35

Fell on the ground ( επιπτεν επ της γης ). Descriptive imperfect. See him falling. Matthew has the aorist επεσεν.

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

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