14:41,42
Jesus went away to pray for a third time. Once again He returned to find the disciples sleeping yet again. “Enough!” It seems that Jesus was now settled in His mind. He knew that there was no other way, the cross was the only way, and He was going to receive no help from the disciples. “The hour has come”. He knew He was about to be arrested, and then the “trial” and sentence would all commence. The Son of Man would be delivered into the hands of sinners. “Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” In the words of Isaiah 50:7 Jesus had now set His face like flint. There was no deterring Him from the path God had chosen for Him.
14:43
Judas appeared together with a crowd armed with swords and clubs.Judas had arranged a signal, he would greet Jesus with a kiss. \neither the swords nor clubs, nor the guns were necessary, for Jesus was not going to resist nor was he an unknown figure. After Judas gave the signal, the soldiers arrested jesus.
