A quick ammendment to numbers 2 and 3 above for greater clarification:

2. Going a little further, not a lot further Jesus fell to the ground. Therefore one could conclude that they were still in visible and audible range of Jesus; and still awake.

3. How long would it take for Jesus to fall to the ground and pray, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will?” Would it take one hour? I don’t think so. However, Jesus returns to his disciples who he finds asleep and asks “could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” Therefore, it is perceivable that following what they heard and saw Jesus do, they fell asleep. Maybe this is why we have such a short account of what Jesus did during that remaining time? And we might never know because the disciples had fallen asleep. My best quess is that he prayed and meditated on the future events that were about to happen.
