39. And again he went away and prayed, saying the same thing.
40. And again he came and found them sleeping, for they could not keep their eyes open, and they did not know what to reply to him.
41. And he came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! The hour has come. Behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42. Get up, let us go! Behold, the one who is betraying me is approaching!”
43. And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44. Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one. Arrest him and lead him away under guard!”
45. And when he arrived, he came up to him immediately and said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him.
46. So they laid hands on him and arrested him.
47. But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing his sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48. And Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me?
49. Every day I was with you in the temple courts teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happened in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled.
50. And they all abandoned him and fled.
51. And a certain young man was following him, clothed only in a linen cloth on his naked body. And they attempted to seize him,
52. but he left behind the linen cloth and fled naked.
53. And they led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
54. And Peter followed him from a distance, right inside, into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the officers and warming himself by the fire.
55. Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they did not find it.
56. For many gave false testimony against him, and their testimony was not consistent.
