Matthew 26:47-56

47While Yeshua was still speaking, here came Judah, one of the Twelve, and with him a big crowd with swords and clubs, from the ruling kohanim and elders of the people.

48Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, ‘The One I kiss, He’s the One—seize Him!’

49And immediately Judah drew near to Yeshua and said, “Shalom, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

50“Friend,” Yeshua said to him, “do what you’ve come to do.” Then they came up and threw their hands on Yeshua and seized Him.

51And suddenly, one of those with Yeshua stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and he struck the kohen gadol ’s servant and cut off his ear.

52Then Yeshua said to him, “Put your sword back in its place! For all who take up the sword shall perish by the sword.

53Or do you suppose that I cannot call on My Father, and at once He will place at My side twelve legions of angels?

54How then would the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must be so?”

55At that hour Yeshua said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, to capture Me as you would a revolutionary? Every day I sat teaching in the Temple, and you didn’t seize Me.

56But all this has happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples fled, abandoning Him.
