Greek Commentary for Matthew 26:45
This makes it “mournful irony” (Plummer) or reproachful concession: “Ye may sleep and rest indefinitely so far as I am concerned; I need no longer your watchful interest” (Bruce). It may be a sad query as Goodspeed: “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest?” So Moffatt. This use of λοιπον loipon for now or henceforth is common in the papyri. [source]
Time for action has now come. They have missed their chance for sympathy with Jesus. He has now won the victory without their aid. “The Master‘s time of weakness is past; He is prepared to face the worst” (Bruce). Is betrayed (παραδιδοται paradidotai). Futuristic present or inchoative present, the first act in the betrayal is at hand. Jesus had foreseen his “hour” for long and now he faces it bravely. [source]

He probably heard the tramp and saw the lanterns of Judas and his band. [source]

Alone in Mark. This impersonal use is rare and has puzzled expositors no little. The papyri (Deissmann‘s Light from the Ancient East and Moulton and Milligan‘s Vocabulary) furnish many examples of it as a receipt for payment in full. See also Matthew 6:2.; Luke 6:24; Philemon 4:18 for the notion of paying in full. It is used here by Jesus in an ironical sense, probably meaning that there was no need of further reproof of the disciples for their failure to watch with him. “This is no time for a lengthened exposure of the faults of friends; the enemy is at the gate” (Swete). See further Matthew 26:45 for the approach of Judas. [source]
Lit., as for the rest. Sometimes rendered now, as Matthew 26:45. “Sleep on now,” for the time that remains. Besides, as 1 Corinthians 1:16. It remaineth, 1 Corinthians 7:29. Henceforth, 2 Timothy 4:8; Hebrews 10:13. Often as here, finally. In every case the idea of something left over is at the bottom of the translation. [source]
The Jews regarded all Gentiles as “sinners” in contrast with themselves (cf. Matthew 26:45 “sinners” and Luke 18:32 “Gentiles”). It is not clear whether Galatians 2:15-21 were spoken by Paul to Peter or whether Paul is now simply addressing the Galatians in the light of the controversy with Peter. Burton thinks that he is “mentally addressing Peter, if not quoting from what he said to him.” [source]
Compare Isaiah 11:2; Luke 10:6; Numbers 11:25, Numbers 11:26; Mark 6:31; Matthew 26:45; Revelation 14:13. Also, Matthew 11:28, where the word is used in the active voice, to give rest or refreshment. [source]
