Mark page 6 by ric Gustafson


John Mark watched as Jesus fell to the ground again. As he prayed, he was groaning and crying. After a while, Jesus stood up and returned to his friends. He noticed that they were dozing again. " My friends". Jesus fell on the ground a third time. This time, John Mark noticed that he was sweating heavily.
After a while, he quietly stood up and walked over to his friends. " Are you still sleeping?". He stared at the three. " The Son of Man is being betrayed". He looked into the darkness. " See, my betrayer is at hand".
John Mark watched as an armed group carrying torches approached. In the front was Judas Iscariot.
Judas walked up to Jesus. " Rabbi, Rabbi". He kissed him.
" Friend, why have you come?". Jesus gave Judas a sorrowful look. " You would betray the Son of Man with a kiss".
Jesus looked at the crowd. " Whom are you seeking?".
" Jesus of Nazareth".
" I am he".
