Exegesis
The prepositional phrase apo tes proseuches {ἀπὸ τῆς προσευχῆς | apò tês pro-seu-khês} “from the prayer” specifies the source point of His movement, referring to His just-completed act of prayer.
Finally, the prepositional phrase apo tes lypes {ἀπὸ τῆς λύπης | apò tês lý-pēs} “from the sorrow” functions causally, indicating that their physical sleep results from intense emotional distress. This causal nuance is reflected in “sleeping from the sorrow” in the formal reconstruction and “asleep, exhausted from sadness” in the dynamic one, which both tie their drowsiness directly to the weight of their grief.
