Peter denied knowing Jesus three times while in the high priest's courtyard, which fulfilled Jesus' earlier prediction (Luke 22:54-62).
John and Peter followed at a distance to the high priest's home where Jesus was put on trial. Though Judas had been one of His closest followers, he handed Jesus over to His betrayers with a kiss, a customary Jewish greeting (Luke 22:48).Ībandoned/Denied by Disciples: The Gospels record that all of Jesus' followers fled when Jesus was arrested (Mark 14:50). His Betrayal: Judas Iscariot arrived at the garden with a crowd of those who sought to arrest Jesus. Either interpretation speaks to the intensity of His prayers. Some interpret this as literal blood (such as occurs with the condition of hematidrosis), while others interpret this as meaning He was dripping with sweat. Jesus' prayers were so intense that His sweat "became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground" (Luke 22:44). Jesus prayed three times while His disciples were to keep watch, but instead fell asleep (Luke 22:39-46). Prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane: John 18 mentions Jesus praying in the garden Matthew and Luke detail the events of these prayers. This time period is traditionally marked by His time in the Garden of Gethsemane and includes His prayers, betrayal by Judas Iscariot, abandonment and denial by His disciples, arrest, trials, beatings, and period of time on the cross.
In the Roman Catholic tradition, much emphasis has been placed on this time period to emphasize the sufferings of Jesus leading up to His death as the ultimate sacrifice for sin. The passion of Christ includes the time period from the night prior to the crucifixion of Jesus until His death upon the cross.
