The Judas Kiss
47While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. aA large mob, with swords and clubs, was with him from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48His betrayer had given them a sign: “The One I kiss, He’s the One; arrest Him!” 49So he went right up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50“Friend,” bJesus asked him, “why have you come?” c
Then they came up, took hold of Jesus, and arrested Him. 51At that moment one of those with Jesus reached out his hand and drew his sword. He struck the high priest’s slave and cut off his ear. d
52Then Jesus told him, “Put your sword back in its place because all who take up a sword will perish by a sword. e53Or do you think that I cannot call on My Father, and He will provide Me at once with more than 12 legions fof angels? g54How, then, would the Scriptures be fulfilled hthat say it must happen this way?”
55At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, ito capture Me? Every day I used to sit, teaching in the •temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me. j56But all this has happened so that the prophetic Scriptures klwould be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples mdeserted Him and ran away.
