Luke 22:39-53

The Garden of Gethsemane

39 ¹And He came out and proceeded ²as was His custom to ³the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed Him.

40 ⁴When He arrived at the place, He said to them, "⁵Pray that you may not enter into temptation."

41 And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and He ⁶knelt * down * and began to pray,

42 saying, "Father, if You are willing, remove this ⁷cup from Me; ⁸yet not My will, but Yours be done."

43 Now an ⁹angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.

44 And ¹⁰being 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 ¹¹pray that you may not enter into temptation."

Jesus Betrayed by Judas

47 ¹²While 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 ¹³sword?"

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 ¹⁴officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs ¹⁵as you would against a robber?
