Matthew 26:39-52
-
39 And he went a little farther, and fell on his face, and prayed, 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 cometh unto the disciples, and findeth them asleep, and saith 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 he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.
-
45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith 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 spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.
-
48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
-
49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
-
50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
-
51 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
-
52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
