Matthew 26:47-56 - The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus

⁴⁷ And He still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: hold Him fast. ⁴⁹ And immediately coming forward to Jesus, he said, Hail, Master; and kissed Him copiously.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Comrade, unto what do you come? Then having come forward they laid hands on Him, and bound Him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of those along with Jesus, reaching out his hand, drew his sword, and smiting the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

⁵² Then Jesus says to him, Turn away thy sword into its place; for all taking the sword shall perish by the sword. ⁵³ Whether do you think that I am not able now to call upon my Father, and He will send me more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, because it is necessary thus to be done?

⁵⁵ And at that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, You have come out as against a robber with swords and clubs to take me: daily did I sit with you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me: ⁵⁶ but all this took place that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving Him, fled away.

⁴³ And immediately, He still speaking, Judas Iscariot comes, being one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ And the one having betrayed Him gave them a sign, saying, The one whom I shall kiss, is He: seize Him and lead Him away securely. ⁴⁵ And having come, immediately advancing forward, he said to Him, Master, and kissed Him copiously. ⁴⁶ And they laid their hands on Him and arrested Him. ⁴⁷ And a certain one of those standing by drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

⁴⁸ Jesus responding said to them, You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me: ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not arrest me: but in order that the Scriptures may be fulfilled. ⁵⁰ And all leaving Him, fled away.

⁵¹ And one certain young man followed Him, invested with a linen cloth on his unclothed body: and they take hold of him. ⁵² And he leaving the linen cloth, fled from them in a state of nudity.

⁴⁷ And He still speaking, behold, a multitude and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming before them; and he drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, do you betray the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And those around Him seeing what was coming on Him, said, Lord, shall we smite with the sword? ⁵⁰ And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ And Jesus responding said, Hold on until this: and touching his ear, healed him. ⁵² Jesus said to the high priests, and magistrates of the temple, and elders who were assembled to Him; You have come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs. ⁵³ I being daily with you in the temple, you reached not out your hands unto me. But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
