41 And he came a third time, and said to them, Are you still asleep and resting? It is finished, the hour has come: behold, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners.

42 Arise, let us go; behold, he who betrays Me has come nigh.

43 And straightway, as he had yet spoken, there came Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a multitude of people with swords and stakes, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders.

44 And he who betrayed him made a sign to them, saying, 'Whom I will kiss, this is the one, take him and lead him carefully.'

45 And having come, straightway he came to him, and said, 'Rabbi! Rabbi! and kissed Him.
