The Scriptures 1998

Matthew 26:41-49 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

41. “Watch and pray, lest you enter into trial. The spirit indeed is eager, but the flesh is weak.”

42. Again He went away, a second time, and prayed, saying, “O My Father, if it is impossible for this to pass unless I drink it, let Your desire be done.”

43. And He came and found them asleep again, for their eyes were heavy.

44. And He left them, went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words.

45. Then He came to His taught ones and said to them, “Still sleeping and taking rest? See, the hour has come near, and the Son of Aḏam is delivered up into the hands of sinners.

46. “Rise, let us go. See, he who delivers Me up has come near.”

47. And while He was still speaking, see, Yehuḏah, one of the twelve, with a large crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48. And he who was delivering Him up gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, it is He, seize Him.”

49. And going straight up to יהושע he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
