The Fathers on this verse
St John Chrysostom The Homilies of St. John Chrysostom, Matthew XXVI. 36-38
“And He came and found them asleep.” For besides that it was late at night, their eyes also were weighed down by their despondency. And the third time He went and spake the same thing, establishing the fact, that He was become man. For the second and third time is in the Scriptures especially indicative of truth; like as Joseph also said to Pharaoh, “Did the dream appear to thee the second time? For truth was this done, and that thou mightest be assured that this shall surely be.” Therefore He too once, and twice, and three times spake the same thing, for the sake of proving the incarnation.
