Mk 14:37c ... "Simon, are you down sleeping? Are you not strong (enough) one hour to stay awake"?

The 3rd and 4th phrases have these 7 dialog words ... Simon, katheudeis, ouk isxusas mian hōran grēgorēsai ("Simon, are you sleeping? Not are you strong (enough) 'one hour' to stay awake?").

The 7 dialog words are bottom up. This diagram shows Simon sleeping for the hour before Jesus will be arrested. The last 5 Greek words "Were you not strong (enough) one hour to stay awake?" show there was no place to draw the words and the sign of "one hour" so that they would be tangent to each other. Simon was not strong enough to stay awake.
