³²And they came to a place named^h Gethsemane, and he said to his disciples, “Sit here while I pray.” ³³And he took along Peter and James and John with him, and he began to be distressed and troubled. ³⁴And he said to them, “My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death. Remain here and stay awake.” ³⁵And going forward a little he fell to the ground and began to prayⁱ that, if it were possible, the hour would pass from him. ³⁶And he said, “Abba,^j Father, all things are possible for you! Take away this cup from me! Yet not what I will, but what you will.”^* ³⁷And he came and found them sleeping, and he said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Were you not able to stay awake one hour? ³⁸Stay awake and pray that you will not enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak!” ³⁹And again he went away and^* prayed, saying the same thing. ⁴⁰And again he came and^* found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open,^k and they did not know what to reply to him. ⁴¹And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. ⁴²Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

⁴³And immediately, while^* he was still speaking, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one.^* Arrest him and lead him^* away under guard!” ⁴⁵And when he^* arrived, he came up to him immediately and^* said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him. ⁴⁶So they laid hands on him and arrested him.

⁴⁷But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing his^l sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. ⁴⁸And Jesus answered and^* said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? ⁴⁹Every day I was with you in the temple courts^* teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happened^m in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled. ⁵⁰And they all abandoned him and^* fled.

⁵¹And a certain young man was following him, clothed only in a linen cloth on his naked body. And they attempted to seize^* him, ⁵²but he left behind the linen cloth and^* fled naked.
