Matt 26:37 And He took with Him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be grieved and distressed.
Matt 26:38 Then He *said to them, "My soul is deeply grieved, to the point of death; remain here and keep watch with Me."
Matt 26:39 ¶ And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, "My Father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from Me; yet not as I will, but as You will."
Matt 26:40 And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and *said to Peter, "So, you men could not keep watch with Me for one hour?
Matt 26:41 "Keep watching and praying that you may not enter into temptation; the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak."
Matt 26:42 ¶ He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, "My Father, if this cannot pass away unless I drink it, Your will be done."
Matt 26:43 Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
Matt 26:44 And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
Matt 26:45 Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
Matt 26:46 "Get up, let us be going; behold, the one who betrays Me is at hand!"
Matt 26:47 ¶ While He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
Matt 26:48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."
Matt 26:49 Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
Matt 26:50 And Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
Matt 26:51 ¶ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew out his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
Matt 26:52 Then Jesus *said to him, "Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.
Matt 26:53 "Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
Matt 26:54 "How then will the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?"
Matt 26:55 ¶ At that time Jesus said to the crowds, "Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? Every day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me.
Matt 26:56 "But all this has taken place to fulfill the Scriptures of the prophets." Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
