And the council of the elders met
to see how they might rid themselves of Jesus.
Then entered Satan into Judas, surnamed Iscariot,
who was one of the twelve.
He plotted with the elders to trap Jesus.
Jesus left Jerusalem and went to the Mount of Olives to pray.
Pray that you may not enter into temptation.
Judas Iscariot betrayed Jesus for only thirty pieces of silver.
Jesus knew that the hour of His death for the sins of mankind was
fast approaching; and He prayed.
Father, if Thou be willing,
Remove this cup from Me.
Never-the-less, not My will but Thy will be done.
And an angel from heaven appeared to Him to strengthen Him.
And His sweat was as though it were
great drops of blood falling to the ground.
Why are you sleeping?
Get up,
and pray that you do not fall into temptation.
Judas!
Is it with a kiss that you betray the Son of Man?
Lord, shall we smite with our swords?
Come on, arrest Him.
Enough of this!
(whisper) A miracle!
Did you have to bring swords and clubs as though I were an outlaw?
I was with you every day in the temple
and you did not try to arrest Me.
But this is your hour to act,
when the power of darkness rules.
Arrest Him!
