In Gethsemane, it seems that Jesus is being “reconsolidated” as the original Adam. His helpers, the disciples, flee from Him, leaving Him along to face His Satanic attackers.
Maybe, though, the typology works differently. Perhaps we are to see Jesus-and-disciples as forming an Adam, an Adam that has to be torn in two in the garden, so that a new Eve can emerge. Until Jesus has gone into the deep sleep of death, He and His disciples are still living in the old creation; once He passes through death to life, He receives HIs bride, the bride that is the glory of the man.
