Verse
Matthew - ch 26 v 41 - 60
- Watch and pray, that ye enter not into temptation: the spirit indeed is ready, but the flesh weak.
- Again going away a second time he prayed saying, My Father, if this cannot pass from me unless I drink it, thy will be done.
- And coming he found them again sleeping, for their eyes were heavy.
- And leaving them, he went away again and prayed the third time, saying the same thing.
- Then he comes to the disciples and says to them, Sleep on now and take your rest; behold, the hour has drawn nigh, and the Son of man is delivered up into the hands of sinners.
- Arise, let us go; behold, he that delivers me up has drawn nigh.
- And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and elders of the people.
- Now he that delivered him up had given them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is: seize him.
- And immediately coming up to Jesus he said, Hail, Rabbi, and covered him with kisses.
- But Jesus said to him, My friend, for what purpose art thou come? Then coming up they laid hands upon Jesus and seized him.
- And behold, one of those with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and smiting the bondman of the high priest took off his ear.
- Then saith Jesus to him, Return thy sword to its place; for all who take the sword shall perish by the sword.
- Or thinkest thou that I cannot now call upon my Father, and he will furnish me more than twelve legions of angels?
- How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
- In that hour Jesus said to the crowds, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and sticks to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me.
- But all this is come to pass that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him and fled.
- Now they that had seized Jesus led him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled.
- And Peter followed him at a distance, even to the palace of the high priest, and entering in sat with the officers to see the end.
- And the chief priests and the elders and the whole sanhedrim sought false witness against Jesus, so that they might put him to death.
- And they found none, though many false witnesses came forward. But at the last two false witnesses came forward
