45
And when he came, he went up to him at once and said,
1"Rabbi!" And he
2kissed him.
46
And they laid hands on him and seized him.
47
But one of those who stood by drew his
3sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48
And Jesus said to them,
"Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?
49
4Day after day I was with you in the temple 5teaching, and you did not seize me. But 6let the Scriptures be fulfilled."
50
7And they all left him and fled.
A Young Man Flees
51 And a young man followed him, with nothing but
8a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him,
52
but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.
Jesus Before the Council
53 9And
10they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.
54
11And
12Peter had followed him at a distance,
13right into
14the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with
15the guards and
16warming himself at the fire.
55
Now the chief priests and the whole Council were seeking testimony against Jesus to put him to death, but they found none.
