Then Jesus went back to his followers and found them asleep. He said to Peter, "Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn't you stay awake with me for one hour?
38
Stay awake and pray for strength against temptation. The spirit wants to do what is right, but the body is weak."
39
Again Jesus went away and prayed the same thing.
40
Then he went back to his followers, and again he found them asleep, because their eyes were very heavy. And they did not know what to say to him.
41
After Jesus prayed a third time, he went back to his followers and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? That's enough. The time has come for the Son of Man to be handed over to sinful people.
42
Get up, we must go. Look, here comes the man who has turned against me."
43
At once, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, came up. With him were many people carrying swords and clubs who had been sent from the leading priests, the teachers of the law, and the older Jewish leaders.
44
Judas had planned a signal for them, saying, "The man I kiss is Jesus. Arrest him and guard him while you lead him away."
45
So Judas went straight to Jesus and said, "Teacher!" and kissed him.
46
Then the people grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
47
One of his followers standing nearby pulled out his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
