New Living Translation

Matthew 26:42-48 New Living Translation (NLT)

42. Then Jesus left them a second time and prayed, “My Father! If this cup cannot be taken away unless I drink it, your will be done.”

43. When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open.

44. So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again.

45. Then he came to the disciples and said, “Go ahead and sleep. Have your rest. But look—the time has come. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.

46. Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!”

47. And even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests and elders of the people.

48. The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: “You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.”
