45 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; hold him fast.
46 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Master! and kissed him.
47 And Jesus said unto him, Judas, wherefore art thou come to betray me with a kiss?
48 Then came they and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.
49 And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and smote off his ear.
50 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place; for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
51 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
52 But how then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
53 In that same hour said Jesus unto the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a thief, with swords and staves, for to take me? I sat daily with you in the temple, teaching, and ye laid no hold on me.
54 But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled.
