Exegesis
Within Jesus’ address, the imperatives katheudete {Καθεύδετε | ka-theú-de-te} and anapausesthe {ἀναπαύεσθε | a-na-paú-es-the} function ironically as a rebuke for the disciples’ inattentiveness, forming a concessive thrust.
Root and etymology
euepsilon–upsilon

In context — Mark 14:41
And He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough. The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.”
