Luke 22:47-53

Jesus’ arrest

47 While Jesus was still speaking, a crowd appeared, and the one called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached Jesus to kiss him.

48 Jesus said to him, " Judas, would you betray the Human One with a kiss?"

49 When those around him recognized what was about to happen, they said, "Lord, should we fight with our swords?"

50 One of them struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear.

51 Jesus responded, " Stop! No more of this!" He touched the slave's ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders who had come to get him, " Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me, as though I were a thief?

53 Day after day I was with you in the temple, but you didn't arrest me. But this is your time, when darkness rules."
