Luke 22:39-53

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition

³⁹ And He came out and went, as was His habit, to the Mount of Olives, and the disciples also followed Him.

⁴⁰ And when He came to the place, He said to them, Pray that you may not [at all] enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And He withdrew from them about a stone’s throw and knelt down and prayed,

⁴² Saying, Father, if You are willing, remove this cup from Me; yet not My will, but [^[a]always] Yours be done.

⁴³ And there appeared to Him an angel from heaven, strengthening Him in spirit.

⁴⁴ And being in an agony [of mind], He prayed [all the] more earnestly and intently, and His sweat became like great ^[b]clots of blood dropping down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when He got up from prayer, He came to the disciples and found them sleeping from grief,

⁴⁶ And He said to them, Why do you sleep? Get up and pray that you may not enter [at all] into temptation.

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, behold, there came a crowd, and the man called Judas, one of the Twelve [apostles], was going before [leading] them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss Him,

⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, Judas! Would you betray and deliver up the Son of Man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And when those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

⁵⁰ And one of them struck the bond servant of the high priest and cut off his ear, the right one.

⁵¹ But Jesus said, Permit ^[c]them to go so far [as to seize Me]. And He touched the ^[d]little (insignificant) ear and healed him.

⁵² Then Jesus said to those who had come out against Him—the chief priests and captains of the temple and elders [of the Sanhedrin]—Have you come out with swords and clubs as [you would] against a robber?

⁵³ When I was with you day after day in the temple [^[e]enclosure], you did not stretch forth [your] hands against Me. But this is your hour—and the power [which] darkness [gives you has its way].
