Luke 22:42-52

42 "Father, if You are willing, take this cup away from Me-nevertheless, not My will, but Yours, be done." [
43 Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him, strengthening Him.
44 Being in anguish, He prayed more fervently, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground.][a]
45 When He got up from prayer and came to the disciples, He found them sleeping, exhausted from their grief.[b]
46 "Why are you sleeping?" He asked them. "Get up and pray, so that you won't enter into temptation."

The Judas Kiss

47 While He was still speaking, suddenly a mob was there, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss Him,
48 but Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they asked, "Lord, should we strike with the sword?"
50 Then one of them struck the high priest's slave and cut off his right ear.
51 But Jesus responded, "No more of this!" [c] And touching his ear, He healed him.
52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple police, and the elders who had come for Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal? [d]
