The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

43And immediately, while* he was still speaking, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one.* Arrest him and lead him* away under guard!” 45And when he* arrived, he came up to him immediately and* said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him. 46So they laid hands on him and arrested him.

47But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing hisl sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48And Jesus answered and* said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? 49Every day I was with you in the temple courts* teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happenedm in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled. 50And they all abandoned him and* fled.

51And a certain young man was following him, clothed only in a linen cloth on his naked body. And they attempted to seize* him, 52but he left behind the linen cloth and* fled naked.
