Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest

^47 (A)And while He was still speaking, behold, ^(B)Judas, one of the twelve, came ^[a]accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁵² Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for ^(A)all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword. ⁵³ Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve ^[a](B)legions of ^(C)angels? ⁵⁴ How then would ^(D)the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”

⁵⁵ At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a man inciting a revolt? ^(E)Every day I used to sit within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me. ⁵⁶ But all this has taken place so that ^(F)the Scriptures of the prophets will be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

³⁹ And He went a little beyond them, and fell on His face and prayed, saying, “My Father, if it is possible, let ^(A)this cup pass from Me; ^(B)yet not as I will, but as You will.” ⁴⁰ And He *came to the disciples and *found them sleeping, and He *said to Peter, “So, you men could not ^(C)keep watch with Me for one hour? ^41 (D)Keep watching and praying, so that you do not come into temptation; ^(E)the spirit is ^[a]willing, but the flesh is weak.”

⁴² He went away again a second time and prayed, saying, “My Father, if this cup ^(F)cannot pass away unless I drink from it, ^(G)Your will be done.”
