ἦσαν βεβαρημένοι ὕπνῳ· διαγρηγορήσαντες δέ. ‘Had been heavy with sleep; but on fully awaking.’ The word διαγρηγορήσαντες does not here mean ‘having kept awake,’ but (to give the full force of the compound and aorist) suddenly starting into full wakefulness. They started up, wide awake after heavy sleep, in the middle of the vision. For βεβαρημένοι comp. Matthew 26:43.
