Context of Mark 14:48
46Some men took hold of Jesus and arrested him. 47One of those standing there pulled out his sword and cut off the ear of the chief priest’s servant. Jesus asked them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a criminal? 49I used to teach in the temple courtyard every day. But you didn’t arrest me then. But what the Scriptures say must come true.” 50Then all the disciples abandoned him and ran away.
