Jesus' Betrayal and Arrest

47 ¹While He was still speaking, behold, ²Judas, one of the twelve, came up accompanied * by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48 Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, "Whomever * I kiss, He is the one; seize Him."

49 Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, "Hail, ³Rabbi!" and kissed Him.

50 And Jesus said to him, "⁴Friend, do what you have come for." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
