Context of Luke 22:46

44And being in an agony he prayed more earnestly: and his sweat was as it were great drops of blood falling to the ground. 45And when he rose up from prayer, and had come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow, And said to them, Why sleep ye? rise and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 47And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 48But Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
