⁴⁷ And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people. ⁴⁸ Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him. ⁴⁹ And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him. ⁵¹ And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear. ⁵² Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword. ⁵³ Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels? ⁵⁴ But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be? ⁵⁵ In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not. ⁵⁶ But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
