183:0.2 Although eight of the [[apostles]] were sound [[asleep]], the [[Greeks]] who were encamped alongside them were more [[fearful]] of trouble, so much so that they had posted a sentinel to give the alarm in case [[danger]] should arise. When these two [[messengers]] hurried into camp, the [[Greek]] sentinel proceeded to arouse all of his fellow countrymen, who streamed forth from their tents, fully dressed and fully armed. All the camp was now aroused except the eight [[apostles]]. [[Peter, the Apostle|Peter]] [[desired]] to call his [[associates]], but [[Jesus]] definitely [[forbade]] him. [[The Master]] mildly [[admonished]] them all to return to their tents, but they were reluctant to comply with his suggestion.

183:0.3 Failing to disperse his followers, [[the Master]] left them and walked down toward the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_press olive press] near the entrance to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gethsemane Gethsemane Park]. Although the three [[apostles]], the [[Greeks]], and the other members of the camp [[hesitated]] [[immediately]] to follow him, [[John Mark]] hastened around through the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olive_tree olive trees] and secreted himself in a small shed near the olive press. [[Jesus]] withdrew from the camp and from his [[friends]] in order that his apprehenders, when they arrived, might [[arrest]] him without disturbing his [[apostles]]. [[The Master]] [[feared]] to have his [[apostles]] [[awake]] and present at the [[time]] of his [[arrest]] lest the [[spectacle]] of [[Judas Iscariot|Judas]]'s [[betraying]] him should so arouse their [[animosity]] that they would offer [[resistance]] to the [[soldiers]] and would be taken into [[custody]] with him. He [[feared]] that, if they should be [[arrested]] with him, they might also perish with him.

183:0.4 Though [[Jesus]] knew that the [[plan]] for his [[death]] had its [[origin]] in the [[councils]] of the rulers of the [[Jews]], he was also [[aware]] that all such [[nefarious]] schemes had the full [[approval]] of [[Lucifer]], [[Satan]], and [[Caligastia]]. And he well knew that these [[rebels]] of the realms would also be pleased to see all of [[the apostles]] destroyed with him.
