43. Then an angel from heaven came to help him.
44. Jesus was in great pain and prayed so sincerely that his sweat fell to the ground like drops of blood.
45. Jesus got up from praying and went over to his disciples. They were asleep and worn out from being so sad.
46. He said to them, “Why are you asleep? Wake up and pray that you won't be tested.”
47. While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came up. It was led by Judas, one of the twelve apostles. He went over to Jesus and greeted him with a kiss.
48. Jesus asked Judas, “Are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?”
49. When Jesus' disciples saw what was about to happen, they asked, “Lord, should we attack them with a sword?”
50. One of the disciples even struck at the high priest's servant with his sword and cut off the servant's right ear.
51. “Enough of that!” Jesus said. Then he touched the servant's ear and healed it.
52. Jesus spoke to the chief priests, the temple police, and the leaders who had come to arrest him. He said, “Why do you come out with swords and clubs and treat me like a criminal?
53. I was with you every day in the temple, and you didn't arrest me. But this is your time, and darkness is in control.”
54. Jesus was arrested and led away to the house of the high priest, while Peter followed at a distance.
55. Some people built a fire in the middle of the courtyard and were sitting around it. Peter sat there with them,
56. and a servant girl saw him. Then after she had looked at him carefully, she said, “This man was with Jesus!”
57. Peter said, “Woman, I don't even know that man!”
58. A little later someone else saw Peter and said, “You are one of them!”“No, I'm not!” Peter replied.
59. About an hour later another man insisted, “This man must have been with Jesus. They both come from Galilee.”
