46
Get up, let us be going. See, my betrayer is at hand."
47
While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived; with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the elders of the people.
48
Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man; arrest him."

At once he came up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed him.
50
Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you are here to do." Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.
51
Suddenly, one of those with Jesus put his hand on his sword, drew it, and struck the slave of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
