Exegesis
The object of this infinitive, mian hōran {μίαν ὥραν | mí-an hō-ran}, specifies the short duration expected, intensifying the reproof. In translation, the sequence of kai is largely preserved to retain the narrative flow, while the Greek single interrogative sequence is rendered as two natural-sounding questions to reflect the rhetorical force in contemporary English.
In context — Mark 14:37
And He came and found them sleeping, and He said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to keep watch for one hour?”
