Then Jesus came to a piece of land called Gethsemane and he says to the disciples "Sit here while I go away over there and pray. Taking Peter and the two sons of Zebedee he began to grieve and be distressed. Then he
says to them. I am so grieved in my soul I could die from it. Stay here and watch with me." And going forward a little he fell on his face praying and saying. “Father if it is possible let this chalice pass from me. Yet not as I will but as you want.”

And (then)he comes to the disciples and finds them sleeping and he says to Peter. “Were you not able to watch one hour with me? Watch and pray lest you enter into temptation. Indeed the spirit is eager but the flesh is weak.” Again a second time he went away and prayed saying
“Father if this cannot pass away without my drinking it, let your will be done.” And coming again he found them sleeping for their eyes were heavy. And leaving them again and going away he prayed a third time saying the same thing.

Then he comes to the disciples and says to them. "You can sleep now and rest. Behold the hour has drawn near and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. Get up. Let’s go. The one betraying me is near." And while he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived and with him there was a big crowd of people carrying swords and clubs. They were from the chief priests and elders of the people. Now the one betraying him had given them a sign saying “Whoever I kiss, that is the one. Seize him.” And immediately on reaching Jesus he approached and said “Hello Rabbi” and affectionately kissed him. But Jesus said to him. “Comrade what are you doing here?” Then approaching, they laid hands
on Jesus and seized him. Then one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, striking the slave of the high priest and cutting off his ear. Jesus says to him. “Put back your sword into its place for those who take up a sword will perish by a sword. Do you not realise I could ask my Father and he would provide me now with more than twelve legions of angels? But it must be like this so that the Scriptures may be fulfilled.” In that hour (of betrayal) Jesus said to the crowds “You come out with swords and clubs to take me as if I were a robber. I sat daily in the temple teaching and you did not seize me. But this has all come to pass so that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled.”
