Luke 22:39-53

39And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples followed Him.

40When He arrived at the place [called Gethsemane], He said to them, “Pray continually that you may not fall into temptation.”

41And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw, and knelt down and prayed,

42saying, “Father, if You are willing, remove this cup [of divine wrath] from Me; yet not My will, but [always] Yours be done.”

43Now an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.

44And being in agony [deeply distressed and anguished; almost to the point of death], He prayed more intently; and His sweat became like drops of blood, falling down on the ground.

45When He rose from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from sorrow,

46and He said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Get up and pray that you may not fall into temptation.”

47While He was still speaking, a crowd came, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve [disciples], was leading the way for them. He approached Jesus to kiss Him.

48And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?”

50And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51But Jesus replied, “Stop! No more of this.” And He touched the ear and healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders [of the Sanhedrin] who had come out against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against a robber?

53Day after day when I was with you in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power and authority of darkness are yours.”
