Jesus’ sorrowful time of prayer and subsequent betrayal and arrest in Gethsemane is described in all four Gospels (Matthew 26:36–56; Mark 14:32–50; Luke 22:39–53, and John 18:1–12), though the place is named only in the Gospel According to Matthew and the Gospel According to Mark. In the three Synoptic accounts, Jesus was deeply grieved and repeatedly prayed for God to “remove this cup from me” while also surrendering to God’s will. According to Luke, his despair was so profound that “his sweat became like great drops of blood,” and he was comforted by an angel (Luke 22:43–44). The three disciples who accompanied him—Peter, James, and John—repeatedly fell asleep despite his apparent anguish and his requests that they pray with him. All four Gospels describe Jesus’ arrest in Gethsemane by a crowd led by Judas Iscariot, one of his 12 disciples. Matthew, Mark, and Luke chronicle the infamous betrayal of Jesus by Judas with a kiss. Although one of his disciples lashed out at the crowd with a sword, Jesus rebuked this use of violence and went peaceably with his captors; Luke’s account conveys that Jesus healed the enslaved man who had been wounded by that sword (Luke 22:51).
