Luke 22:46 In-Context

44 And being in anguish, he began praying more fervently and his sweat became like drops of blood falling down to the ground.]]

45 And [when he] got up from the prayer [and] came to the disciples, he found them sleeping from sorrow,

46 and he said to them, "Why are you sleeping? Get up [and] pray that you will not enter into temptation!"

47 [While] he was still speaking, behold, [there came] a crowd, and the one named Judas, one of the twelve, leading them. And he approached Jesus to kiss him.

48 But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"
