The Arrest of Jesus

47

As he was yet speaking, behold a multitude; and he that was called Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus, for to kiss him.

48

And Jesus said to him: Judas, dost thou betray the Son of man with a kiss?

49

And they that were about him, seeing what would follow, said to him: Lord, shall we strike with the sword?

50

And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

51

But Jesus answering, said: Suffer ye thus far. And when he had touched his ear, he healed him.

52

And Jesus said to the chief priests and magistrates of the temple and the ancients, that were come unto him: Are ye come out, as it were against a thief, with swords and clubs?

53

When I was daily with you in the temple, you did not stretch forth your hands against me: but this is your hour and the power of darkness.
