Jesus had much to say to his apostles that night. He gave them a new commandment-that they show unselfish love to one another. He said: "By this all will know that you are my disciples, if you have love among yourselves." (John 13:34, 35) He urged them not to let their hearts be troubled by the tragic events that were about to unfold. Jesus prayed earnestly in their behalf. They sang praises together and went out into the night.
In the garden of Gethsemane, Jesus kneeled and poured out his heart in prayer. Soon, an armed mob of soldiers, priests, and others arrived to arrest. Judas approached and singled Jesus out by giving him a kiss. As the soldiers bound Jessu, the apostles fled.
