New Testament

Luke 22:37-50 English Standard Version (ESV)

37. For I tell you that this Scripture must be fulfilled in me: ‘And he was numbered with the transgressors.’ For what is written about me has its fulfillment.”

38. And they said, “Look, Lord, here are two swords.” And he said to them, “It is enough.”

39. And he came out and went, as was his custom, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples followed him.

40. And when he came to the place, he said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

41. And he withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,

42. saying, “Father, if you are willing, remove this cup from me. Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.”

43. And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him.

44. And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.

45. And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow,

46. and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

47. While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,

48. but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49. And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

50. And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
