Luke 22:47-53

47While he was still speaking to the disciples, a crowd arrived. The man called Judas, one of the twelve apostles, was leading them. He came close to Jesus to kiss him.

48Jesus said to him, “Judas, do you intend to betray the Son of Man with a kiss?”

49The men who were with Jesus saw what was going to happen. So they asked him, “Lord, should we use our swords to fight?”

50One of the disciples cut off the right ear of the chief priest’s servant.

51But Jesus said, “Stop! That’s enough of this.” Then he touched the servant’s ear and healed him.

52Then Jesus said to the chief priests, temple guards, and leaders who had come for him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs as if I were a criminal?

53I was with you in the temple courtyard every day and you didn’t try to arrest me. But this is your time, when darkness rules.”
