37 For I say to you that this which is written must still be1 accomplished in Me: a‘And He was numbered with the transgressors.’ For the things concerning Me have an end.”
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41 aAnd He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed,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.
51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.
52 aThen Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a brobber, with swords and clubs?
53 When I was with you daily in the atemple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your bhour, and the power of darkness.”
Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly
54 aHaving arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. bBut Peter followed at a distance.
55 aNow when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the courtyard and sat down together, Peter sat among them.
