In the garden, he was betrayed
In the garden, he received the kiss which would condemn him
In the garden, he did not run away
In the garden, he did not put up a fight
In the garden, he told Peter to put away his sword
In the garden, he took the cup he was to drink
the cup only he could drink
In the garden, he was arrested
In the garden, he was bound
This was the end of the beginning, or did that begin, with his triumphal entry into Jerusalem
This was the end of the beginning, where the inevitable would happen
The trial, the whipping, the humiliation
all pointing to the inescapable truth
That the Son of Man, the Messiah, the Christ
had to die
This was the end of the beginning, where everything pointed to the cross
