43 Jesus is Arrested
Just then, while Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived. A crowd armed with swords and clubs was with him. They were from the high priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer personally had given them a signal, saying, “The one I kiss is the man. Arrest him, and lead him safely away.”
45 So Judas immediately went up to Jesus and said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him tenderly.
46 Then the men took hold of Jesus and arrested him. 47 But one of those standing there drew his sword and struck the high priest’s servant, cutting off his ear. 48 Jesus asked them,“Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest me as if I were a bandit?
49 Day after day I was with you in the Temple teaching, yet you didn’t arrest me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50 Then all the disciples deserted Jesus and ran away.
51The Young Man who Ran AwayA certain young man, who was wearing nothing but a linen sheet, was following Jesus. When the men grabbed him,
52 he left the linen sheet behind and ran away naked.
53Jesus is Tried before the High Priest
Then they took Jesus to the high priest. All the high priests, elders, and scribes had gathered together.
54 Peter followed Jesus at a distance as far as the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the servants and warming himself at the fire.
55 Meanwhile, the high priests and the whole Council were looking for some testimony against Jesus in order to have him put to death, but they couldn’t find any.
56 Although many people gave false testimony against him, their testimony didn’t agree.
57 Then some men stood up and gave false testimony against him, saying, 58 “We ourselves heard him say,‘I will destroy this sanctuary made by human hands, and in three days I will build another one not made by human hands.’”
59 But even on this point their testimony didn’t agree.
60 Then the high priest stood up before them and asked Jesus, “Don’t you have any answer to what these men are testifying against you?” 61 But he kept silent and didn’t answer at all. The high priest asked him again, “Are you the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One?”
62 Jesus said,“I AM, and ‘you will see the Son of Man seated at the right hand of the Power’ and ‘coming with the clouds of heaven.’”
63 Then the high priest tore his clothes. “Why do we still need witnesses?” he asked. 64 “You have heard his blasphemy! What is your verdict?” All of them condemned him as deserving death.
65 Some of them began to spit on him. They blindfolded him and kept hitting him with their fists and telling him, “Prophesy!” Even the servants took him and slapped him around.
