Mark 14:43-52

43While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.

44His betrayer had given them a signal. “The one I kiss,” he said, “he’s the one; arrest him and take him away under guard.”

45So when he came, immediately he went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.

46They took hold of him and arrested him.

47One of those who stood by drew his sword, struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his ear.

48Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as if I were a criminal, to capture me?

49Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple, and you didn’t arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

50Then they all deserted him and ran away.

51Now a certain young man, wearing nothing but a linen cloth, was following him. They caught hold of him,

52but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.
