Context of Luke 22:48

46“Why are you sleeping?” he asked them. “Get up and pray, so that you won’t fall into temptation.” 47While he was still speaking, suddenly a mob came, and one of the Twelve named Judas was leading them. He came near Jesus to kiss him, but Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49When those around him saw what was going to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” 50Then one of them struck the high priest’s servant and cut off his right ear.
