Matthew 26:47-54

471While He was still speaking, behold, 2Judas, one of the twelve, came up 3accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” 49Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Hail, 4Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50And Jesus said to him, “5Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.

51And behold, 6one of those who were with Jesus 7reached and drew out his 8sword, and struck the 9slave of the high priest and 10cut off his ear. 52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for 11all those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. 53Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve 1213legions of 14angels? 54How then will 15the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
