Goodspeed(i)
43 Just at that moment, while he was still speaking, Judas, who was one of the Twelve, came up, and with him a crowd of men with swords and clubs, from the high priests, scribes, and elders.
44 Now the man who betrayed him had given them a signal, saying, "The one I kiss is the man. Seize him and take him safely away."
45 So when he came he went straight up to Jesus and said, "Master!" and kissed him affectionately.
46 And they laid hands on him and seized him.
47 But one of the bystanders drew his sword and struck at the high priest's slave and cut his ear off.
48 And Jesus spoke and said to them, "Have you come out to arrest me with swords and clubs, as though I were a robber?
49 I have been among you day after day in the Temple teaching, and you never seized me. But let the Scriptures be fulfilled!"
50 Then all the disciples left him and made their escape.
51 And a young man followed him with nothing but a linen cloth about his body; and they seized him,
52 but he left the cloth behind and ran away naked.
53 They took Jesus away to the high priest, and all the high priests, elders, and scribes came together.
54 And Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest and sat down with the attendants and warmed himself at the fire.
55 The high priests and the whole council tried to get evidence against Jesus in order to put him to death, and they could find none,
56 for while many gave false testimony against him their evidence did not agree.
57 Some got up and gave false testimony against him to this effect:
58 "We ourselves have heard him say, 'I will tear down this sanctuary built by men's hands, and in three days I will build another, made without hands.' "
59 And even then their evidence did not agree.
60 Then the high priest got up and came forward into the center and asked Jesus, "Have you no answer to make? What about their evidence against you?"
61 But Jesus was silent and made no answer. The high priest again questioned him and said to him, "Are you the Christ, the son of the Blessed One?"
62 But Jesus said, "I am! and you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Almighty and coming in the clouds of the sky!"
63 Then the high priest tore his clothing, and said, "What do we want of witnesses now?
64 Did you hear his blasphemy? What is your decision?" And they all condemned him as deserving to be put to death.
65 And some started to spit at him and to blindfold him and strike him, and say to him, "Now show that you are a prophet!" And the attendants slapped him as they took charge of him.
