Matthew 26:39-49

39 And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let ¹this cup pass from Me; ²yet not as I will, but as You will."

40 And He came to the disciples and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "So, you men could not ³keep watch with Me for one hour?

41 "⁴Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; ⁵the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."

42 He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this ⁶cannot * pass away unless * I drink it, ⁷Your will be done."

43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.

44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

45 Then He came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, ⁸the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46 "Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"

Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest

47 ⁹While He was still speaking, behold, ¹⁰Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied * by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever * I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

49 Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, ¹¹Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
