37
And he came and found them sleeping and said unto Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? Could thou not watch one hour?
38
Watch ye and pray; enter not into temptation. The spirit truly
is ready, but the flesh
is sick.
39
And again he went away and prayed and spoke the same words.
40
And when he returned, he found them asleep again (for their eyes were heavy), nor did they know what to answer him.
41
And he came the third time and said unto them, Sleep on now and rest; it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into
the hands of the sinners.
42
Rise up, let us go; behold, he that betrays me is at hand.
43
And immediately, while he yet spoke, Judas came, who was one of the twelve, and with him a multitude with swords and staves from the princes of the priests and of the scribes and of the elders.
44
And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him and lead
him away securely.
45
And as soon as he was come, he went straightway to him and said, Master, Master, and kissed him.
46
And they laid their hands on him and took him.
47
And one of them that stood by drew a sword and smote the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
