Mark 14:42 In-Context

40 When He returned He again found them asleep, for they were very tired; and they knew not how to answer Him.

41 A third time He came, and then He said, "Sleep on and rest. Enough! the hour has come. Even now they are betraying the Son of Man into the hands of sinful men.

42 Rouse yourselves, let us be going: my betrayer is close at hand."

43 Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came and with him a crowd of men armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the High Priests and Scribes and Elders.

44 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them. "The one I kiss," he said, "is the man: lay hold of him, and take him safely away."
