Context of Luke 22:50

48Jesus said to him, ‘Judas, why do you want to kiss me, the Son of Man? You are helping my enemies to take hold of me!’ 49The people near to Jesus saw what was happening. They asked him, ‘Lord, should we use our swords to fight?’ One of them hit the servant of the leader of the priests. He cut off the servant's right ear. 51‘That is enough!’ Jesus said. He then touched the man's ear and made him well again. 52Then Jesus spoke to the people that had come to take hold of him. They were the leaders of the priests, and the leaders of the police in the temple. Other important Jews were also there. He said to them, ‘You have come here with swords and heavy sticks. Do you really think that I am leading people to fight against our country's rulers?

• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 47-53Verses 47-53 Nothing can be a greater affront or grief to the Lord Jesus, than to be betrayed by those who profess to be his followers, and say that they love him. Many instances there are, of Christ's being betrayed by those who, under the form of godliness, fight against the power of it.
