Matthew 26:41-49 Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB)

41. Stay awake and pray, so that you won’t enter into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.”

42. Again, a second time, He went away and prayed, “My Father, if this cannot pass unless I drink it, Your will be done.”

43. And He came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.

44. After leaving them, He went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.

45. Then He came to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the time is near. The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46. Get up; let’s go! See, My betrayer is near.”

47. While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48. His betrayer had given them a sign: “The One I kiss, He’s the One; arrest Him! ”

49. So he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi! ” and kissed Him.
