After this, Jesus went with them to a place called Gethsemani, and said to the disciples, stay here, while I go there and pray. but he took with him Peter, and the two sons of Zebedee, and began to be in a very great agony of grief. and he said to them, "my soul is exceeding sorrowful, even unto death:" stay here and watch by me. read more.
Then advancing a little further, he fell prostrate in prayer, and said, "O my father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not mine, but thy will be done." then returning to the disciples, and finding them asleep, he said to Peter, what, could ye not watch by me one hour? watch and pray that ye may not sink under the trial: the mind indeed is vigorous, but the flesh is weak. again, he went away the second time, and prayed thus, "O my father, if I cannot avoid drinking this cup, thy will be done." then returning, he found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. then he left them once more, and went to prayers the third time, using the same words. and at his return, he said to his disciples, is this a time to sleep and take your rest? the hour draws nigh, and the son of man is betrayed into the hands of the gentiles. rise, let us be gone, there he is, the traytor is just upon us. And before he had done speaking, Judas one of the twelve appear'd, with a numerous retinue, arm'd with swords and staves, being sent by the chief priests and elders of the people. now he that was to betray him, gave them this signal, the person I shall kiss, is the very man, be sure to secure him. and immediately advancing to Jesus, he said, master, I salute you, and kissed him. Jesus said to him, friend, what are you come about? when the others advancing, seized upon Jesus, and secur'd him.

then advancing a little further, he fell on the ground, and prayed, that this anxiety might pass from him. saying, father, all things are possible to thee, take away this cup from me: nevertheless, not my will, but thine be done. Then he return'd, and having found them sleeping, he said to Peter, Simon, are you asleep? could you not watch one hour? watch and pray, that you may not yield to temptation: the mind indeed is vigorous, but the body is weak. Again he retired, and prayed, uttering the same words. then he return'd and found them still sleeping, for their eyes were heavy, and they did not know how to give an answer. after that he came a third time, and said to them, sleep on now and take your rest. 'tis done, the time is come, and the son of man is to be betrayed into the hands of sinners. rise, let us be going: see, the traitor is just upon us. All of a sudden, while he was yet speaking, appear'd Judas, one of the twelve, attended by a great number of people with swords and clubs, who were sent by the chief priests, the Scribes, and rulers. now he that betrayed him, had given them this signal, you will see me salute one with a kiss, that's he: seize him, and don't let him escape. then advancing, he went directly up to him, saying, master, master, and kissed him. and they violently laid hands on him and secured him.

Before he had done speaking, the company appears, Judas one of the twelve marching in front, who advanc'd to Jesus to give him a kiss. but Jesus said to him, Judas is it thus you betray the son of man, with a kiss? they who were about him seeing what would happen, said to him, shall we smite with the sword?
