Matthew 26:47-56 - The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus
47 And while he was still speaking, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priest and elders of the people. 48 Now the man who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him. 49 And straightaway having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi, and kissed him much.
50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, why are thou here. Then having come, they threw their hands on Jesus, and seized him. 51 And behold, one of those with Jesus, having stretched out a hand, drew his sword, and when he struck the bondman of the high priest, he cut off his ear.
52 Then Jesus says to him, Return thy sword into its place, for all those who take a sword will die by a sword. 53 Or do thou think that I cannot now call my Father, and he will provide to me more than twelve legions of agents? 54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it is necessary to happen this way?
55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, Did ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to seize me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me. 56 But all this has come to pass, so that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples fled, having forsook him.
43 And straightaway, while he still spoke, Judas, being one of the twelve, comes, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs from the chief priests, and the scholars, and the elders. 44 Now he who betrayed him had given them a sign, saying, Whomever I may kiss is he. Seize him, and lead away securely. 45 And when he came, straightaway having approached him, he says, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him much. 46 And they threw their hands on him, and seized him. 47 And a certain one of those who stood by, having drawn his sword, struck the bondman of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And having answered, Jesus said to them, Have ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to arrest me? 49 I was daily near you, teaching in the temple, and ye did not seize me--but that the scriptures might be fulfilled. 50 And having forsook him, they all fled.
51 And a certain one young man followed with him, having been wrapped naked in a linen cloth. And the young men seized him, 52 but having left behind the linen cloth, he fled from them naked.
47 While he yet spoke, behold, a multitude, and the man called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them. And he came near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 But Jesus said to him, Judas, thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?
49 And when those who were around him saw what would be, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? 50 And a certain one of them struck the bondman of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 But having answered, Jesus said, Allow ye as far as this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. 52 And Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and elders, who came to him, Have ye come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the temple, ye did not stretch forth hands against me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
