Following the Passover meal, Jesus took His disciples to Gethsemane where there was a garden.  Already, this had been an eventful night for the group.  They had been told that there was a betrayer among them.  They were also told that they were about to scatter and leave Jesus.  Jesus had also repeatedly made it clear to these men that the time was coming when He was going to be arrested and killed before rising from death.  This was a lot of information to process, and I imagine that the heightened emotional state of the disciples, the walking they had just done, and the lateness of the hour contributed to them feeling very tired.

Jesus knew the hour had come for Him to be betrayed, arrested, tortured, and crucified.  The long-promised atonement for the sin of humanity was about to be completed by Him at the cross, but His soul was filled with sorrow at the horrifying thought of what He was about to experience.
