The Arrest of Jesus

43

¶ And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44

And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely.

45

And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him.

46

And they laid their hands on him, and took him.

47

And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

48

And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me?

49

I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled.

50

And they all forsook him, and fled.

51

And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him:

52

And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.
