18 When Jesus had said these things, he went forth with his disciples over the brook Cedron, where there was a garden, into which he entered with his disciples.

² And Judas also, who betrayed him, knew the place; because Jesus had often resorted thither together with his disciples.

³² And they came to a farm called Gethsemani. And he saith to his disciples: Sit you here, while I pray.

³³ And he taketh Peter and James and John with him; and he began to fear and to be heavy.

³⁴ And he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death; stay you here, and watch.

³⁵ And when he was gone forward a little, he fell flat on the ground; and he prayed, that if it might be, the hour might pass from him.

³⁶ And he saith: Abba, Father, all things are possible to thee: remove this chalice from me; but not what I will, but what thou wilt.

³⁷ And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping. And he saith to Peter: Simon, sleepest thou? couldst thou not watch one hour?

³⁸ Watch ye, and pray that you enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.

³⁹ And going away again, he prayed, saying the same words.

⁴⁰ And when he returned, he found them again asleep, (for their eyes were heavy,) and they knew not what to answer him.

⁴¹ And he cometh the third time, and saith to them: Sleep ye now, and take your rest. It is enough: the hour is come: behold the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴² Rise up, let us go. Behold, he that will betray me is at hand.

³⁶ Then Jesus came with them into a country place which is called Gethsemani; and he said to his disciples: Sit you here, till I go yonder and pray.

³⁷ And taking with him Peter and the two sons of Zebedee, he began to grow sorrowful and to be sad.

³⁸ Then he saith to them: My soul is sorrowful even unto death: stay you here, and watch with me.

³⁹ And going a little further, he fell upon his face, praying, and saying: My Father, if it be possible, let this chalice pass from me. Nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt.

⁴⁰ And he cometh to his disciples, and findeth them asleep, and he saith to Peter: What? Could you not watch one hour with me?

⁴¹ Watch ye, and pray that ye enter not into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh weak.

⁴² Again the second time, he went and prayed, saying: My Father, if this chalice may not pass away, but I must drink it, thy will be done.

⁴³ And he cometh again and findeth them sleeping: for their eyes were heavy.

⁴⁴ And leaving them, he went again: and he prayed the third time, saying the selfsame word.

⁴⁵ Then he cometh to his disciples, and saith to them: Sleep ye now and take your rest; behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of sinners.

⁴⁶ Rise, let us go: behold he is at hand that will betray me.

³⁹ And going out, he went, according to his custom, to the mount of Olives. And his disciples also followed him.

⁴⁰ And when he was come to the place, he said to them: Pray, lest ye enter into temptation.

⁴¹ And he was withdrawn away from them a stone's cast; and kneeling down, he prayed,

⁴² Saying: Father, if thou wilt, remove this chalice from me: but yet not my will, but thine be done.

⁴³ And there appeared to him an angel from heaven, strengthening him. And being in an agony, he prayed the longer.

⁴⁴ And his sweat became as drops of blood, trickling down upon the ground.

⁴⁵ And when he rose up from prayer, and was come to his disciples, he found them sleeping for sorrow.

⁴⁶ And he said to them: Why sleep you? arise, pray, lest you enter into temptation.

⁴³ And while he was yet speaking, cometh Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the ancients.

⁴⁴ And he that betrayed him, had given them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he; lay hold on him, and lead him away carefully.

⁴⁵ And when he was come, immediately going up to him, he saith: Hail, Rabbi; and he kissed him.

⁴⁶ But they laid hands on him, and held him.

⁴⁷ And one of them that stood by, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the chief priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus answering, said to them: Are you come out as to a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me?

⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not lay hands on me. But that the scriptures may be fulfilled.

⁵⁰ Then his disciples leaving him, all fled away.

⁵¹ And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and they laid hold on him.

⁵² But he, casting off the linen cloth, fled from them naked.

⁴⁷ As he yet spoke, behold Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and the ancients of the people.

⁴⁸ And he that betrayed him, gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, hold him fast.

⁴⁹ And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said: Hail, Rabbi. And he kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him: Friend, whereto art thou come? Then they came up, and laid hands on Jesus, and held him.

⁵¹ And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

⁵² Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

⁵³ Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?

⁵⁴ How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?

⁵⁵ In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.

⁵⁶ Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.

⁴⁷ As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.

⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

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

⁵¹ But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests, and magistrates of the temple, and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?

⁵³ When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.

³ Judas therefore having received a band of soldiers and servants from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns and torches and weapons.

⁴ Jesus therefore, knowing all things that should come upon him, went forth, and said to them: Whom seek ye?

⁵ They answered him: Jesus of Nazareth. Jesus saith to them: I am he. And Judas also, who betrayed him, stood with them.

⁶ As soon therefore as he had said to them: I am he; they went backward, and fell to the ground.

⁷ Again therefore he asked them: Whom seek ye? And they said, Jesus of Nazareth.

⁸ Jesus answered, I have told you that I am he. If therefore you seek me, let these go their way.

⁹ That the word might be fulfilled which he said: Of them whom thou hast given me, I have not lost any one.

¹⁰ Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it, and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear. And the name of the servant was Malchus.

¹¹ Jesus therefore said to Peter: Put up thy sword into the scabbard. The chalice which my Father hath given me, shall I not drink it?

¹² Then the band and the tribune, and the servants of the Jews, took Jesus, and bound him:

¹³ And they led him away to Annas first, for he was father in law to Caiphas, who was the high priest of that year.

¹⁴ Now Caiphas was he who had given the counsel to the Jews: That it was expedient that one man should die for the people.

¹⁵ And Simon Peter followed Jesus, and so did another disciple. And that disciple was known to the high priest, and went in with Jesus into the court of the high priest.

¹⁶ But Peter stood at the door without. The other disciple therefore, who was known to the high priest, went out, and spoke to the portress, and brought in Peter.

¹⁷ The maid therefore that was portress, saith to Peter: Art not thou also one of this man's disciples? He saith: I am not.

¹⁸ Now the servants and ministers stood at a fire of coals, because it was cold, and warmed themselves. And with them was Peter also, standing, and warming himself.

¹⁹ The high priest therefore asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine.

²⁰ Jesus answered him: I have spoken openly to the world: I have always taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither all the Jews resort; and in secret I have spoken nothing.

²¹ Why asketh thou me? ask them who have heard what I have spoken unto them: behold they know what things I have said.

²² And when he had said these things, one of the servants standing by, gave Jesus a blow, saying: Answerest thou the high priest so?

²³ Jesus answered him: If I have spoken evil, give testimony of the evil; but if well, why strikest thou me?

²⁴ And Annas sent him bound to Caiphas the high priest.
