⁴⁷ As He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve , came up, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, The One I shall kiss is the Man; seize Him. ⁴⁹ And he came up to Jesus at once and said, Hail (greetings, good health to You, long life to You), Master! And he embraced Him and kissed Him with warmth and devotion. ⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, Friend, for what are you here? Then they came up and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him. ⁵¹ And behold, one of those who were with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword and, striking the body servant of the high priest, cut off his ear. ⁵² Then Jesus said to him, Put your sword back into its place, for all who draw the sword will die by the sword. ⁵³ Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will immediately provide Me with more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must come about this way? ⁵⁵ At that moment Jesus said to the crowds, Have you come out with swords and clubs as against a robber to capture Me? Day after day I was accustomed to sit in the porches and courts of the temple teaching, and you did not arrest Me. ⁵⁶ But all this has taken place in order that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples deserted Him and, fleeing, escaped.
