39. Again He went away and prayed the same words.
40. When He returned, He again found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. And they did not know what to answer Him.
41. When He returned a third time, He said to them, “Are you still sleeping and taking your rest? It is enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42. Rise up, let us go. Look! He who betrays Me is at hand.”
43. Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44. Now he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One. Seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45. So as soon as he came, he went to Him immediately and said, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46. They laid hands on Him and seized Him.
47. Then one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48. Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would a thief?
49. Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50. Then they all deserted Him and fled.
