014:035 He went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that,
if it were possible, the hour might pass away from him.
014:036 He said, "Abba, Father, all things are possible to you.
Please remove this cup from me. However, not what I desire,
but what you desire."
014:037 He came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, "Simon,
are you sleeping? Couldn't you watch one hour?
014:038 Watch and pray, that you may not enter into temptation.
The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak."
014:039 Again he went away, and prayed, saying the same words.
014:040 Again he returned, and found them sleeping, for their eyes
were very heavy, and they didn't know what to answer him.
014:041 He came the third time, and said to them, "Sleep on now,
and take your rest. It is enough. The hour has come.
Behold, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
014:042 Arise, let us be going. Behold, he who betrays me is at hand."
014:043 Immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas, one of
the twelve, came--and with him a multitude with swords and clubs,
from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
014:044 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, "Whoever I
will kiss, that is he. Seize him, and lead him away safely."
014:045 When he had come, immediately he came to him,
and said, "Rabbi! Rabbi!" and kissed him.
014:046 They laid their hands on him, and seized him.
014:047 But a certain one of those who stood by drew his sword,
and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
014:048 Jesus answered them, "Have you come out, as against a robber,
with swords and clubs to seize me?
014:049 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you didn't
arrest me. But this is so that the Scriptures might be fulfilled."
014:050 They all left him, and fled.
014:051 A certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth thrown
around himself, over his naked body. The young men grabbed him,
014:052 but he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
014:053 They led Jesus away to the high priest. All the chief priests,
the elders, and the scribes came together with him.
014:054 Peter had followed him from a distance, until he came into
the court of the high priest. He was sitting with the officers,
and warming himself in the light of the fire.
014:055 Now the chief priests and the whole council sought witnesses
against Jesus to put him to death, and found none.
014:056 For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony
didn't agree with each other.
014:057 Some stood up, and gave false testimony against him, saying,
014:058 "We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is
made with hands, and in three days I will build another
made without hands.'"
014:059 Even so, their testimony did not agree.
