Luke 22:40-53

English Standard Version

^40 (A)And when he came to ^(B)the place, he said to them, ^(C)“Pray that you may not ^(D)enter into temptation.” ⁴¹ And he withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and ^(E)knelt down and prayed, ⁴² saying, ^(F)“Father, if you are willing, remove ^(G)this cup from me. ^(H)Nevertheless, not my will, but yours, be done.” ⁴³ And there appeared to him ^(I)an angel from heaven, strengthening him. ⁴⁴ And ^(J)being in agony he prayed more earnestly; and his sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.^{[a] 45} And when he rose from prayer, he came to the disciples and found them sleeping for sorrow, ⁴⁶ and he said to them, “Why are you sleeping? Rise and ^(K)pray that you may not enter into temptation.”

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

^47 (L)While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called ^(M)Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, ⁴⁸ but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” ⁴⁹ And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike ^(N)with the sword?” ⁵⁰ And one of them struck the servant^[b] of the high priest and cut off his right ear. ⁵¹ But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. ⁵² Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ^(O)officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? ⁵³ When ^(P)I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is ^(Q)your hour, and ^(R)the power of darkness.”
