37. Then he came and found them sleeping, and said to Peter, “Simon, are you sleeping? Couldn’t you stay awake for one hour?

39. He went away again and prayed the same thing.

40. When he came again he found them sleeping; they could not keep their eyes open. And they did not know what to tell him.

41. He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough of that! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

42. Get up, let us go. Look! My betrayer is approaching!”

43. Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

45. When Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.
