The Arrest of Jesus

43

And immediately--while he is yet speaking--cometh near Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude, with swords and sticks, from the chief priests, and the scribes, and the elders;

44

and he who is delivering him up had given a token to them, saying, `Whomsoever I shall kiss, he it is, lay hold on him, and lead him away safely,'

45

and having come, immediately, having gone near him, he saith, `Rabbi, Rabbi,' and kissed him.

46

And they laid on him their hands, and kept hold on him;

47

and a certain one of those standing by, having drawn the sword, struck the servant of the chief priest, and took off his ear.

48

And Jesus answering said to them, `As against a robber ye came out, with swords and sticks, to take me!

49

daily I was with you in the temple teaching, and ye did not lay hold on me--but that the Writings may be fulfilled.'

50

And having left him they all fled;

51

and a certain young man was following him, having put a linen cloth about his naked body, and the young men lay hold on him,

52

and he, having left the linen cloth, did flee from them naked.
