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

Matthew 26:47-56

47 And while he was yet speaking, lo 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 Now he that betrayed him, had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he; seize him. 49 And forthwith coming to Jesus, he said, Hail, Master, and kissed him.

50 And Jesus said to him, Friend, Wherefore art thou come? Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him. 51 And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching out his hand, drew his sword, and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.

52 Then said Jesus to him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword, shall perish by the sword. 53 Thinkest thou that I cannot now ask my Father, and he will presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55 In that hour Jesus said to the multitude, Are ye come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take me? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple and ye took me not. 56 But all this is done, that the scriptures of the prophets may be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.

Mark 14:43-52

43 And immediately, while ye yet spake, cometh Judas, 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 Now he that betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, is he: seize and lead him away safely. 45 And when he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, Master! 46 And kissed him? And they laid their hands on him, and took him. 47 And one of them that stood by, drew a sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48 And Jesus answering said to them, Are ye come as against a robber, with swords and clubs, to take me? 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not; but the scriptures must be fulfilled. 50 Then they all forsook him and fled. And a certain young man followed him, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body;

51 and the young men laid hold on him. 52 And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

Luke 22:47-53

47 And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near to Jesus to kiss him. 48 And Jesus said to him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?

49 When they who were about him saw what would follow, they said to him, 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 answering said, Suffer ye thus far. And he touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders, who were come to him, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and clubs? 53 When I was daily with you in the temple, ye stretched not forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
