SECT. VI. Of Judas's Treason, Christ's Apprehension, binding and leading unto Annas.
BY this time the Traitor Judas was arrived at Gethsemani, and being near the Garden-door, Jesus goes to his Disciples, and calls them from their sleep; by an Irony (as some think) he bids them sleep on now, and take their rest; meaning if they could for danger,1 that now was near; but withal he adds, Behold the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners; rise, let us be going, behold he is at hand that doth betray me. That it might appear he undertook his sufferings with choice and free election, he not only refused to fly, but he calls his Apostles to rise, that they might meet his Murderers. And now they come with Swords and Staves; or as John adds,2 with Lanterns and Torches, and (Judas going before them, and drawing near unto Jesus to kiss him) they took him, and bound him, and led him away to Annas first.
