⁴³Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve apostles, arrived. A crowd carrying swords and clubs was with him. They were from the chief priests, the experts in Moses’ Teachings, and the leaders of the people. ⁴⁴Now, the traitor had given them a signal. He said, “The one I kiss is the man you want. Arrest him, and guard him closely as you take him away.”

⁴⁵Then Judas quickly stepped up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.

⁴⁶Some men took hold of Jesus and arrested him. ⁴⁷One of those standing there pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest’s servant.

⁴⁸Jesus asked them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a criminal? ⁴⁹I used to teach in the temple courtyard every day. But you didn’t arrest me then. But what the Scriptures say must come true.”

⁵⁰Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.

⁵¹A certain young man was following Jesus. He had nothing on but a linen sheet. They tried to arrest him, ⁵²but he left the linen sheet behind and ran away naked.
