Matthew 26:49-63

49And straightway he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Rabbi; and kissed him.

50And Jesus said unto him, Friend, do that for which thou art come. Then they came and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

51And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.

52Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.

53Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?

54How then should the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?

55In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.

56But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.

57And they that had taken Jesus led him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.

58But Peter followed him afar off, unto the court of the high priest, and entered in, and sat with the officers, to see the end.

59Now the chief priests and the whole council sought false witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death;

60and they found it not, though many false witnesses came. But afterward came two,

61and said, This man said, I am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it in three days.

62And the high priest stood up, and said unto him, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?

63But Jesus held his peace. And the high priest said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
