New Testament

Luke 22:44-56 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

44. And being in agony He was praying very fervently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down upon the ground.

45. When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46. and said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not enter into temptation."

47. While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48. But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

49. When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the sword?"

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

51. But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

52. Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

53. While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

54. Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but Peter was following at a distance.

55. After they had kindled a fire in the middle of the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

56. And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."
