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

⁴⁷ And he yet speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great crowd, with swords, and sticks, from the chief priests, and the more ancient of the people. ⁴⁸ And he delivering him up, gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, the same is he: hold him firmly. ⁴⁹ And quickly having come to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him.

⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, for what comest thou? Then having come near, they put hands upon Jesus, and held him firmly. ⁵¹ And, behold, one of them with Jesus, having stretched out the hand, pulled out his sword, having struck the chief priest's servant, took away his ear.

⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Turn back thy sword to its place: for all they having taken the sword, shall perish by the sword. ⁵³ Thinkest thou that I am not able to call to my Father for aid, and he will set before me more than twelve legions of messengers? ⁵⁴ How then would the writings be filled up, that so it must be?

⁵⁵ In that hour, Jesus said to the crowds, As against a robber came ye out, with swords and sticks, to take me? In the day I sat down with you, teaching, and ye took not hold of me. ⁵⁶ But this has been wholly that the writings of the prophets might be filled up. Then all the disciples, having left him, fled.

⁴³ And quickly, he yet speaking, Judas approaches, being one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and sticks from the chief priests and scribes and the more ancient. ⁴⁴ And he delivering him up gave them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, this is he; seize him, and lead away safely. ⁴⁵ And having come, quickly having approached him, he says, Rabbi, rabbi; and kissed him. ⁴⁶ And they put their hands on him, and seized him. ⁴⁷ And a certain one of them standing by, having drawn a sword, struck the chief priest's servant, and took away his ear.

⁴⁸ And Jesus having answered, said to them, As against a robber come ye out, with swords and sticks to take me ⁴⁹ Daily was I with you in the temple teaching, and ye seized me not: but that the writings might be completed. ⁵⁰ And having left him, they all fled.

⁵¹ And one certain young man followed him, having cast a garment of fine linen over his nakedness; and the young men seized him: ⁵² And having left the fine linen garment, he fled from them naked.

⁴⁷ And he yet speaking, Behold a crowd, and he called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. ⁴⁸ And Jesus said to him, Judas, deliverest thou up the Son of man with a kiss?

⁴⁹ And they about him, having seen that, going to be, said to him, Lord, shall we strike with the sword ⁵⁰ And a certain one of them struck a servant of the chief priest, and took away his right ear.

⁵¹ And Jesus having answered said, Allow ye even to this. And having touched his ear, he healed him. ⁵² And Jesus said to the chief priests, and generals of the temple, and the elders, having come to him, Have ye come out, as upon a robber, with sword and sticks? ⁵³ I being with you daily in the temple, ye stretched not forth the hands upon me: but this is your hour, and the power of darkness.
