45
Then cometh he to the disciples, and saith unto them,
Sleep on now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
46
Arise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that betrayeth me.
47
And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priest and elders of the people.
48

Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

54
How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
