Matthew 26:43-54
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 26
43Again He came and found them sleeping, for their eyes were heavy. 44And He left them again, and went away and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more. 45Then He *came to the disciples and *said to them, 'Are you still sleeping and resting? Behold, the hour is at hand and the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. 46Get up, let’s go; behold, the one who is betraying Me is near!'
47And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign previously, saying, 'Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him.'
49And immediately Judas went up to Jesus and said, 'Greetings, Rabbi!' and kissed Him.
50But Jesus said to him, 'Friend, do what you have come for.' Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him.
51And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached and drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear.
52Then Jesus *said to him, 'Put your sword back into its place; for all those who take up the sword will perish by the sword.
53Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?'
King James Version
Chapter 26
43And he came and found them asleep again: for their eyes were heavy. 44And he left them, and went away again, and prayed the third time, saying the same words. 45Then cometh he to his 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 into the hands of sinners. 46Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray me.
47And 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.
48Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
49And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
51And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, and smote off his ear.
52Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
54But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

Chapter 26
43And he came again and found them sleeping, because they could not keep their eyes open.
44After leaving them, he went away again and prayed a third time, saying the same thing once more.
45Then he came to the disciples and said to them, "Are you still sleeping and resting? See, the time is near. The Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46Get up; let's go. See, my betrayer is near."
47While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. A large mob with swords and clubs was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people.
48His betrayer had given them a sign: "The one I kiss, he's the one; arrest him."
49So immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi! " and kissed him.
50"Friend," Jesus asked him, "why have you come? "Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested him.
51At that moment one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the high priest's servant and cut off his ear.
52Then Jesus told him, "Put your sword back in its place because all who take up the sword will perish by the sword.
53Or do you think that I cannot call on my Father, and he will provide me here and now with more than twelve legions of angels?
54How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way? "
New Living Translation
Chapter 26
43When he returned to them again, he found them sleeping, for they couldn’t keep their eyes open.
44So he went to pray a third time, saying the same things again.
45Then 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.
46Up, let’s be going. Look, my betrayer is here!'
47And 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.
48The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: 'You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss.'
49So Judas came straight to Jesus. 'Greetings, Rabbi!' he exclaimed and gave him the kiss.
