Living_Oracles(i)
43 Immediately, before he had done speaking, appeared Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude armed with swords and clubs, who were sent by the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44 Now the betrayer had given them this signal: The man whom I shall kiss, is he; seize him, and lead him away safely.
45 He was no sooner come, than accosting Jesus, he said, Rabbi, Rabbi, and kissed him.
46 Then they laid hands on him and seized him.
47 But one of those who were present, drew his sword, and smiting the high priest's servant, cut off his ear.
48 Then Jesus addressing them, said, Do you come with swords and clubs to apprehend me, like people in pursuit of a robber?
49 I was daily amongst you, teaching in the temple, and you did not arrest me. But in this the scriptures are accomplished.
50 Then they all forsook him and fled.
51 Now there followed him a youth, who had only a linen cloth wrapped about his body; the soldiers having laid hold of him,
52 he left the cloth, and fled from them naked.
53 Then they took Jesus away to the high priest, with whom all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes, were convened.
54 And Peter followed him at a distance, as far as the court of the high priest's house, and sat there with the officers, warming himself at the fire.
55 Meanwhile, the chief priests, and all the Sanhedrin, sought for evidence against Jesus, in order to condemn him to die, but found none:
56 for many gave false testimony against him, but their testimonies were insufficient.
57 The some arose, who testified falsely against him, saying,
58 We heard him say, I will demolish this temple made with hands, and in three days will build another without hands.
59 But even here their testimony was defective.
60 Then the high priest, standing up in the midst, interrogated Jesus, saying, Do you answer nothing to what these men testify against you?
61 But he was silent, and gave no answer. Again, the high priest interrogating him, said, Are you the Messiah, the Son of the blessed One?
62 Jesus answered, I am; nay, you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Almighty, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
63 Then the high priest rent his garments, saying, What further need have we of witnesses?
64 You have heard the blasphemy. What is your opinion? And they all pronounced him worthy of death.
65 Then some began to spit on him; others to cover his face and buffet him, saying to him, Divine who it is. And the officers gave him blows on the cheeks.
