XXVI. 36-46.

42 Again a second time he went away, and prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cannot pass away, except I drink it, thy will be done.

43 And he came again and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44 And he left them again, and went away, and prayed a third time, saying again the same words.

45 Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed unto the hands of sinners.

46 Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.

XXVI. 47-56.

47 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he take him.

49 And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and 1kissed him.

50 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on [?] Jesus, and took him. [See Luke xxii. 53, p. 133.] 51 And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword [?].

53 Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

54 How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be ?

I Gr. kissed him much.

2 Gr. bondservant.

XXII. 47-53.

47 While he yet spake, behold, a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them; and he drew near unto Jesus to kiss him.

[Compare also John xviii. 2-3.

Now Judas also, which betrayed him, knew the place: for Jesus oft-times resorted thither with his disciples. 3 Judas then, having received the band of soldiers, and officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, cometh thither with lanterns, and torches, and weapons.]

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49 And when they that were about him saw what would follow, they said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? 50 And a certain one of them smote the 2 servant of the high priest, and struck off his right * ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

Or, cohort.

2 Gr. bondservant.

XXII. 54-56.

54 And they seized [?] him, and led him away, and brought [?] him into the high priest's house. But Peter

followed afar off.

55 And when they had kindled a fire in the midst of the court, and had sat down together, Peter sat in the midst of them.

56 And a certain maid seeing him as he sat in the light of the fire, and looking stedfastly upon him, said, This man also was with him.

[See Mark xiv. 66, p. 134.]

XXII. 66-71. 66 And as soon as it was day, the assembly of the elders of the people was gathered together, both chief priests and scribes; and they led him away into their council, saying,

1 Or, sanctuary: as in ch. xxiii. 35; xxvii. 5.

62 And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63 But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.

64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming on the clouds of heaven.

65 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, He hath spoken blasphemy: what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now ye have heard the blasphemy:

66 What think ye? They answered and said, He is 1 worthy of death. 67 Then did they spit in his face and buffet him and some smote him 2 with the palms of their hands, saying, 68 Prophesy unto us, thou Christ: who is he that struck thee !

XXVI. 69-75.

69 Now Peter was sitting without in the court and a maid came unto him, saying, Thou also wast with Jesus the Galilæan.

70 But he denied before them all, saying, I know not what thou sayest.

Gr. liable to. 2 Or, with rods.

Or, Ye say it, because I am.

2 Gr. him.
