Luke 22:36-53 World Messianic Bible British Edition (WMBBE)

36. Then he said to them, “But now, whoever has a purse, let him take it, and likewise a wallet. Whoever has none, let him sell his cloak, and buy a sword.

37. For I tell you that this which is written must still be fulfilled in me: ‘He was counted with transgressors.’ For that which concerns me has an end.”

38. They said, “Lord, behold, here are two swords.”He said to them, “That is enough.”

39. He came out and went, as his custom was, to the Mount of Olives. His disciples also followed him.

40. When he was at the place, he said to them, “Pray that you don’t enter into temptation.”

41. He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and he knelt down and prayed,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. An angel from heaven appeared to him, strengthening him.

44. Being in agony he prayed more earnestly. His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down on the ground.

45. When he rose up from his prayer, he came to the disciples, and found them sleeping because of grief,

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

47. While he was still speaking, behold, a multitude, and he who was called Judah, one of the twelve, was leading them. He came near to Yeshua to kiss him.

48. But Yeshua said to him, “Judah, do you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49. When those who were around him saw what was about to happen, they said to him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”

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

51. But Yeshua answered, “Let me at least do this”—and he touched his ear, and healed him.

52. Yeshua said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and elders, who had come against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?

53. When I was with you in the temple daily, you didn’t stretch out your hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.”
