He withdrew, about a stone's cast, and knelt down, and
prayed, saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me;
nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done.
There appeared an angel from heaven to strengthen Him because He was
in agony. He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat was like great drops
of blood falling on the ground. When He rose up from prayer and
returned to His disciples, He found them sleeping. Jesus said to them,
Why sleep? Rise and pray lest you enter into temptation.
And while He yet spoke, a crowd appeared, and he that was called
Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to
kiss Him. But Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man
with a kiss?
When the disciples saw what was going to happen, they said to Him,
Lord, shall we strike with the sword? And one of them smote the
servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear. But Jesus said,
Enough. No more of this. He touched the servant's ear and healed him.
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and
the elders in the crowd, Why do you come out armed with staves and
swords as against a thief when I was daily with you in the temple and
you could have stretched forth your hands against me? But this is your
hour, and the power of darkness.
