St Mark 14:34-53 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

34. And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death; stay you here, and watch.

35. And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground; and he prayed, that if it might be, the hour might pass from him.

36. And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.

37. And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? couldst thou not watch one hour?

38. Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

39. A going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.

40. And when he returned, he found them again asleep, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they knew not what to answer him.

41. And he cometh the third time, and saith to them: Sleep ye now, and take your rest. It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42. Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.

43. And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

44. And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.

45. And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.

46. But they laid hands on him, and held him.

47. An one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

48. And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?

49. I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

50. Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.

51. And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.

52. But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.

53. And they brought Jesus to the high priest; and all the priests and the scribes and the ancients assembled together.
