Judas Betrays Christ

Matt. 26:47–56; Mark 14:43–50; John 18:2–11

47 And while He was still speaking, tbehold, a multitude; and he who was called uJudas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a vkiss?”

49 When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” 50 And wone of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51 But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

52 xThen Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a yrobber, with swords and clubs? 53 When I was with you daily in the ztemple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your ahour, and the power of darkness.”

About The New King James Version

The New King James Version is a total update of the 1611 King James Version, also known as the "Authorized Version." Every attempt has been made to maintain the beauty of the original version while updating the English grammar to contemporary style and usage. The result is much better "readability." It is noteworthy that the NKJV is one of the few modern translations still based on the "Western" or "Byzantine" manuscript tradition. This makes the New King James Version an invaluable aid to comparative English Bible study.
