Matthew

Matthew 26:47–54

⁴⁷While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived, accompanied by a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief priests and elders of the people.

⁴⁸Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.” ⁴⁹Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

⁵⁰“Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.”^g

Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him. ⁵¹At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.

⁵²“Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword. ⁵³Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? ⁵⁴But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
