Mark 14:43-54

43And immediately, while he was still speaking, Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.

44Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard."

45And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, "Rabbi!" And he kissed him.

46And they laid hands on him and seized him.

47But one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.

48And Jesus said to them, "Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me?

49Day after day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled."

50And they all left him and fled.

51And a young man followed him, with nothing but a linen cloth about his body. And they seized him,

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

53And they led Jesus to the high priest. And all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes came together.

54And Peter had followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he was sitting with the guards and warming himself at the fire.
