39. And continuing on a little further, he fell prostrate on his face, praying and saying: "My Father, if it is possible, let this chalice pass away from me. Yet truly, let it not be as I will, but as you will."
40. And he approached his disciples and found them sleeping. And he said to Peter: "So, were you not able to keep vigil with me for one hour?
41. Be vigilant and pray, so that you may not enter into temptation. Indeed, the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
42. Again, a second time, he went and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this chalice cannot pass away, unless I drink it, let your will be done."
43. And again, he went and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44. And leaving them behind, again he went and prayed for the third time, saying the same words.
45. Then he approached his disciples and said to them: "Sleep now and rest. Behold, the hour has drawn near, and the Son of man will be delivered into the hands of sinners.
46. Rise up; let us go. Behold, he who will betray me draws near."
47. While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people.
48. And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: "Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him."
49. And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, "Hail, Master." And he kissed him.
50. And Jesus said to him, "Friend, for what purpose have you come?" Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held him.
51. And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52. Then Jesus said to him: "Put your sword back in its place. For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
