Matthew 26:47-56

471And while He was still speaking, behold, 2Judas, one of the twelve, came 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 previously, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him.” 49And immediately Judas went up to Jesus and said, “Greetings, 4Rabbi!” and kissed Him. 50But Jesus said to him, “5Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and arrested Him.

51And behold, 6one of those who were with Jesus 7reached and drew 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 will 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 would 15the Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”

55At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a man inciting a revolt? 16Every day I used to sit within the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me. 56But all this has taken place so that 17the Scriptures of the prophets will be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.
