38 So they said, “Lord, look, here are two swords.” And He said to them, “It is enough.”
The Prayer in the Garden
39 aComing out, bHe went to the Mount of Olives, as He was accustomed, and His disciples also followed Him.
40 aWhen He came to the place, He said to them, “Pray that you may not enter into temptation.”
41 aAnd He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed,
42 saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless anot My will, but Yours, be done.”
43 Then aan angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him.
44 aAnd being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.
45 When He rose up from prayer, and had come to His disciples, He found them sleeping from sorrow.
Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane
47 And while He was still speaking, abehold, a multitude; and he who was called bJudas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.
49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?”
50 And aone of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
