3. . Jesus faces betrayal

22:39-53

- (Mt Olives) "place"

"authority of darkness"

 

22: 39 And going forth he went according to the his habit to the mountain of the olives; and followed him also the disciples. 40 And coming upon the place he said to them: Pray ye not to enter into temptation. 41 and he was withdrawn from them about of a stone a throw, and placing the knees he prayed 42 saying Father, if thou wilt take away this cup from me; nevertheless not the will for me but thine it be. 43 And appeared to him an angel from heaven strengthening him. 44 And becoming in an agony more earnestly he prayed; and became the sweat of him as drops of blood falling down onto the earth. 45 And rising up from the prayer, coming to the disciples he found sleeping them from the grief;. 46 and said to them Why sleep ye rising up pray ye, lest ye enter into temptation.

47 Yet him speaking behold a crowd, and the one being named Judas one of the twelve came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 but Jesus said to him: Judas, with a kiss the so of man betrayest thou? 49 And seeing the ones round him the thing going to be said: Lord if we shall strike with a sword? 50 And struck a certain one of them of the high priest the slave and cut off the ear of him right. 51 And answering Jesus said: Permit ye until this: and touching the ear he cured him. 52 And said Jesus to the coming upon him chief priests and captains of the temple and elders: As against a robber came ye out with swords and clubs? 53 daily being me with you in the temple not ye stretched out the your hands against me; but this is of you the hour and the authority of the darkness.

House of High Priest

"right of - power of God"

 

22: 54 And having arrested him they led and brought in into the house of the high priests and Peter followed afar off. 55 Lighting And a fire in the centre of the court and sitting down together sat Peter among them. 56 And seeing him a certain maidservant sitting near the light and gazing at him said: And this man with him was. 57 he But denied saying: I know not him, woman. 58 And after a short while another seeing him said: And thou of them art. But Peter said: Man I am not. 59 And intervening about hour one other man a certain emphatically asserted saying: of a truth also this man with him was, for indeed a Galilean he is. 60 But said Peter: Man I know not what they sayest. And at once yet speaking him sounded a cock. 61 And turning the Lord looked at Peter and remembered Peter the word of the Lord as he told him that

before a cock to sound today thou wilt deny me thrice. 62 And going out outside he wept bitterly. 63 And the men having in charge him mocked him beating. 64 and covering over him questioned saying: Prophesy, who is the one playing thee? 65 And other things many blaspheming they said against him. 66 And when came day, was assembled the body of elders of the people, both chief priests and scribes, and led away him to the council of them. 67 saying: If thou art the Christ, tell us. And he said to them: If you I tell by no means will ye believe: 68 If and I question, by no means will ye answer. 69 from now But will be the Son of man sitting at the right of the power of God. 70 And they said all: Thou therefore art the son of God? And he to them said: Ye say that I am. 71 And they said: Why yet have we of witness need? for ourselves we heard from the mouth of him.
