Mark 14:39-49

39 Again He went away and prayed, saying the same words.
40 And again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were very heavy; and they did not know what to answer Him.
41 And He came the third time, and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough; 1the hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42 "Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

Betrayal and Arrest

43 2Immediately while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied * by a crowd with swords and clubs, who were from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44 Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever * I kiss, He is the one; seize Him and lead Him away under guard."
45 After coming, Judas immediately went to Him, saying, "3Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
46 They laid hands on Him and seized Him.
47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a robber?
49 "Every day I was with you 4in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me; but this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures."
