³⁹And he went away and^* proceeded, according to his^* custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed him. ⁴⁰And when^* he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” ⁴¹And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt downⁱ and^* began to pray,^* ⁴²saying, “Father, if you are willing, take away this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will but yours be done.” ⟦⁴³And an angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him. ⁴⁴And being in anguish, he began praying^* more fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.⟧^j ⁴⁵And when he^* got up from the prayer and^* came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow, ⁴⁶and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and^* pray that you will not enter into temptation!”

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

⁴⁷While^* he was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the one named Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. And he approached Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” ⁴⁹And when^* those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” ⁵⁰And a certain one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹But Jesus answered and^* said, “Stop! No more of this!”^k And he touched his^* ear and^* healed him. ⁵²And Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come out against him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber? ⁵³Every day when^* I was with you in the temple courts,^* you did not stretch out your^* hands against me! But this is your hour and the domain of darkness!”
