Luke 22:49-59

49 When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the ¹sword?"

50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, "Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ²officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs ³as you would against a robber?

53 "While I was with you daily * in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but this hour and the power of darkness are yours."

Jesus' Arrest

54 ⁴Having arrested Him, they led Him away and brought Him to the house of the high priest; but ⁵Peter was following at a distance.

55 ⁶After they had kindled a fire in the middle of ⁷the courtyard and had sat down together, Peter was sitting among them.

56 And a servant-girl, seeing him as he sat in the firelight and looking intently at him, said, "This man was with Him too."

57 But he denied it, saying, "Woman, I do not know Him."

58 A little later, ⁸another saw him and said, "You are one of them too!" But Peter said, "Man, I am not!"

59 After about an hour had passed, another man began to insist, saying, "Certainly * this man also was with Him, ⁹for he is a Galilean too."
