ples, he found
them sleeping, from sorrow. (46)And he said to them: Why sleep ye?
Arise and pray, that ye enter not into temptation.

(47)While he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he that was
called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to
Jesus to kiss him. (48)But Jesus said to him: Judas, betrayest thou
the Son of man with a kiss? (49)And they who were about him, seeing
what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
(50)And a certain one of them smote the servant of the high priest,
and took off his right ear. (51)And Jesus answering said: Suffer thus
far. And he touched his ear, and healed him.

(52)And Jesus said to the chief priests and captains of the temple and
elders, who were come to him: Have ye come out as against a robber,
with swords and staves? (53)When I was daily with you in the temple,
ye stretched not forth your hands against me. But this is your hour,

(61)And the Lord turning looked upon Peter. And Peter remembered the
word of the Lord, how he said to him: Before a cock crows this day,
thou wilt deny me thrice. (62)And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

(63)And the men who held Jesus mocked him, beating him; (64)and having
blindfolded him they asked him, saying: Prophesy, who is it that smote
thee? (65)And many other things they said, reviling him.

(66)And when it was day, the elders of the people[22:66], and the
chief priests and scribes, came together; and they brought him up into
their council, saying: (67)If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he
