Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
47 1While he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called
2Judas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him,
48
but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss? ”
49
And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike
3with the sword? ”
50
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51
But Jesus said, “No more of this! ”And he touched his ear and healed him.
52
Then Jesus said to the chief priests and
4officers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs?
53
When
5I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is
6your hour, and
7the power of darkness. ”
