Jesus is Betrayed and Arrested
The council of the Jewish elders meets to see how they can get rid of Jesus. Meanwhile, Jesus sits with the rest of His followers and tells them to pray against temptation. Judas arrives at the council and counts out his pieces of silver. Jesus walks off alone so that He can pray. He asks His Heavenly Father to take the burden of His cup away from Him. But He says He'd rather have God's will than His own be done. As Jesus continues to pray, His sweat became like great drops of blood. He rises from prayer and returns to the disciples. But they're asleep. A crowd of Jews approaches Him. Judas leads the way and gets close to Jesus. He kisses Him on the cheek. The disciples lunge forward asking if they should go to battle. Peter runs forward and cuts the ear off one of the men. Jesus heals the man and stops the brawl. He asks why they come with clubs. And Jesus is arrested.

ShareNow the Feast of Unleavened Bread, called the Passover, was approaching, and the chief priests and scribes were looking for a way to put Jesus to death, for they feared the people. Then Satan entered Judas Iscariot, who was one of the Twelve. And Judas went to discuss with the chief priests and temple officers how he might betray Jesus to them. They were delighted and agreed to give him money. Judas consented, and began to look for an opportunity to betray Jesus to them in the absence of a crowd.

When He came to the place, He told them, “Pray that you will not enter into temptation.” And He withdrew about a stone’s throw beyond them, where He knelt down and prayed, “Father, if You are willing, take this cup from Me. Yet not My will, but Yours be done.” Then an angel from heaven appeared to Him and strengthened Him. And in His anguish, He prayed more earnestly, and His sweat became like drops of blood falling to the ground. When Jesus rose from prayer and returned to the disciples, He found them asleep, exhausted from sorrow. “Why are you sleeping?” He asked. “Get up and pray so that you will not enter into temptation.” While He was still speaking, a crowd arrived, led by the man called Judas, one of the Twelve. He approached Jesus to kiss Him. But Jesus asked him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” Those around Jesus saw what was about to happen and said, “Lord, should we strike with our swords?” And one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his right ear. But Jesus answered, “No more of this!” And He touched the man’s ear and healed him. Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple officers, and elders who had come for Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as you would against an outlaw? Every day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a hand on Me. But this hour belongs to you and to the power of darkness.”
