39. And going forward a little he fell upon his face, praying and saying, My Father, if it be possible let this cup pass from me; but not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40. And he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping, and says to Peter, Thus ye have not been able to watch one hour with me?
41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak.
42. Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass from me unless I drink it, thy will be done.
43. And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
44. And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
45. Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
46. Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
47. And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48. Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.
49. And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.
50. But Jesus said to him, My friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.
51. And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.
52. Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.
53. Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?
