³⁹And going forth he went according to his custom to the mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰And when he was at the place he said to them, Pray that ye enter not into temptation. ⁴¹And he was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and having knelt down he prayed, ⁴²saying, Father, if thou wilt remove this cup from me: —but then, not my will, but thine be done. ⁴³And an angel appeared to him from heaven strengthening him. ⁴⁴And being in conflict he prayed more intently. And his sweat became as great drops of blood, falling down upon the earth. ⁴⁵And rising up from his prayer, coming to the disciples, he found them sleeping from grief. ⁴⁶And he said to them, Why sleep ye? rise up and pray that ye enter not into temptation.

⁴⁷As he was yet speaking, behold, a crowd, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went on before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss? ⁴⁹And they who were around him, seeing what was going to follow, said to him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? ⁵⁰And a certain one from among them smote the bondman of the high priest and took off his right ear. ⁵¹And Jesus answering said, Suffer thus far; and having touched his ear, he healed him. ⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders, who were come against him, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks? ⁵³When I was day by day with you in the temple ye did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
