Matthew 26:47-56 - The Betrayal And Arrest Of Jesus
47 And while he was yet speaking, behold, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 Now he that betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he: seize him. 49 And immediately approaching to Jesus, he said, Hail, master; and kissed him.
50 Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and seized him. 51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut off his ear.
52 Then saith Jesus unto him, Return thy sword into its sheath: for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword. 53 Thinkest thou, that I cannot now entreat my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
55 In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves to apprehend me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid not hold upon me. 56 But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets should be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
43 And immediately, while he was yet speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, came up, and a great multitude with him, with swords and staves, from the chief priests, and scribes, and elders. 44 Now he that betrayed him, had given them a countersign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, seize him, and lead him off safely. 45 And coming, he immediately drew up to him and said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him. 46 Then they laid their hands on him, and seized him. 47 And one particular person of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus addressing them said, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves, to apprehend me? 49 Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye laid no hold upon me: but [this is done] that the scriptures might be fulfilled. 50 Then they all deserting him, fled.
51 And a certain youth followed him, having a linen cloth wrapped round his naked body; and the young men laid hold of him; 52 and leaving the linen cloth behind, he fled naked from them.
47 And while he was yet speaking, behold a multitude, and he who was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and approached Jesus to kiss him. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 Then when they who were about him saw what was ready to happen, they said unto him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword? 50 And one of them struck at a servant of the high-priest, and cut off his right ear.
51 Then Jesus, addressing them, said, Permit me thus far: and touching his ear, he healed him. 52 Then said Jesus to the chief priests and captains of the temple, and to the elders who were come forth against him, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and staves? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched out no hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
