Mark 14:43-52

43Right away, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived. With him came a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent by the chief priests and experts in the law and elders.

44(Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him and lead him away under guard.”)

45When Judas arrived, he went up to Jesus immediately and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed him.

46Then they took hold of him and arrested him.

47One of the bystanders drew his sword and struck the high priest’s slave, cutting off his ear.

48Jesus said to them, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like you would an outlaw?

49Day after day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, yet you did not arrest me. But this has happened so that the scriptures would be fulfilled.”

50Then all the disciples left him and fled.

51A young man was following him, wearing only a linen cloth. They tried to arrest him,

52but he ran off naked, leaving his linen cloth behind.
