Matthew 26:36-56

[36] Then  cometh  Jesus  with  them  unto  a place  called  Gethsemane,  and  saith  unto the disciples,  Sit ye  here,  while  I go  and pray  yonder.  [37] And  he took with him  Peter  and  the two  sons  of Zebedee,  and began  to be sorrowful  and  very heavy.  [38] Then  saith he  unto them,  soul  exceeding sorrowful,  even unto  death:  tarry ye  here,  and  watch  with  [39] And  further,  and fell  on  his  face,  and  prayed,  saying,  Father,  if  possible,  cup  pass  from  nevertheless  not  as  will,  but  as  thou  [40] And  he cometh  unto  the disciples,  and  findeth  them  asleep,  and  saith  unto Peter,  What,  could ye  not  watch  with  hour?  [41] Watch  and  pray,  ye enter  into  temptation:  the spirit  indeed  is willing,  but  the flesh  is weak.  [42] He went away  again  the  second time,  and prayed,  saying,  Father,  if  may  not  pass away  I drink  it,  will  be done.  [43] And  he came  and found  them  asleep  again:  for  their  eyes  heavy.  [44] And  he left  them,  and went away  again,  and prayed  the third time,  saying  the same  words.  [45] Then  cometh he  to  his  disciples,  and  saith  unto them,  Sleep on  now,  and  take your rest:  behold,  the hour  is at hand,  and  the Son  of man  is betrayed  into  the hands  of sinners.  [46] Rise,  let us be going:  behold,  he is at hand  that doth betray  [47] And  he  yet  spake,  lo,  Judas,  one  of the twelve,  came,  and  with  him  a great  multitude  with  swords  and  staves,  from  the chief priests  and  elders  of the people.  [48] Now  he that betrayed  him  gave  them  a sign,  saying,  Whomsoever  I shall kiss,  that same  fast.  [49] And  forthwith  he came  to Jesus,  and said,  Hail,  master;  and  kissed  him.  [50] And  Jesus  said  unto him,  Friend,  wherefore  art thou come?  Then  came they,  and laid  hands  on  Jesus,  and  took  him.  [51] And,  behold,  one  of them which were with  Jesus  stretched out  his hand,  and drew  his  sword,  and  struck  a servant  of the high priest's,  and smote off  his  ear.  [52] Then  said  Jesus  unto him,  Put up again  sword  into  his  place:  for  all they  that take  the sword  shall perish  with  the sword.  [53] Thinkest thou  that  I cannot  now  pray  Father,  and  he shall presently give  more  than  twelve  legions  of angels?  [54] But how  then  shall the scriptures  be fulfilled,  that  thus  it must  be?  [55] In  that same  hour  said  Jesus  to the multitudes,  Are ye come out  as  against  a thief  with  swords  and  staves  for to take  I sat  daily  teaching  in  the temple,  and  no  hold  [56] But  all  was done,  that  the scriptures  of the prophets  might be fulfilled.  Then  all  the disciples  forsook  him,  and fled.
