39. And he went a little further and fell on his face, praying and saying, O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me; nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.
40. And he came unto the disciples and found them asleep and said unto Peter, What, could ye not watch with me one hour?
41. Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation; the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.
42. He went away again the second time and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may not pass away from me except I drink it, thy will be done.
43. And he came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.
44. And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
45. Then he came unto his disciples and said unto them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46. Rise, let us be going; behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47. And while he yet spoke, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the princes of the priests and elders of the people.
48. Now he that betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.
49. And forthwith he came to Jesus and said, Receive joy, master; and kissed him.
50. And Jesus said unto him, Friend, why art thou come? Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
51. And, behold, one of those who was with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword and struck a slave of the high priest and smote off his ear.
52. Then Jesus said unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place, for all those that take the sword shall perish by the sword.
