Luke 22:43-49

⁴³Then an angel from heaven appeared to Jesus and caused him to become stronger.

⁴⁴He was greatly distressed. So he prayed more earnestly. His sweat fell down on the ground as though it was large drops of blood.

⁴⁵When he got up from praying, he returned to his disciples. He found that they were sleeping. They were exhausted because they were very sorrowful.

⁴⁶He woke them and said to them, “◄I am disappointed that you are sleeping!/Why are you sleeping?► RHQ Get up! Pray that God will help you whenever you are tempted {when something like this tempts you}!”

⁴⁷While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd came to him. Judas, even though he was one of the twelve disciples, was leading them. He came close to Jesus and kissed him on the cheek as if to greet him, but was really a signal to those with him which one was Jesus.

⁴⁸Jesus said to him, “Judas, ◄I am disappointed that it is by kissing me that you are enabling my enemies to seize me, the one who came from heaven!/is it by kissing me as though you loved me that you are enabling my enemies to seize me, the one who came from heaven?► RHQ”

⁴⁹When the disciples who were around Jesus realized what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we (exc) strike them with our swords?”
