Matthew 26:47-56

MSTC(i) 47 While he yet spake, Lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came: and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, which were sent from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48 And he that betrayed him, gave them a token, saying, "Whosoever I kiss, the same is he: lay hands on him." 49 And forthwith-all he came to Jesus, and said, "Hail master." And kissed him. 50 And Jesus said unto him, "Friend, wherefore art thou come?" Then came they and laid hands on Jesus and took him. 51 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. 52 Then said Jesus unto him, "Put up thy sword into his sheath. For all they that lay hands on the sword, shall perish with the sword. 53 Either thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my father, and he shall give me more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But how then should the scriptures be fulfilled? For so must it be." 55 The same time said Jesus to the multitude, "Ye be come out as it were unto a thief, with swords and staves for to take me: daily I sat among you teaching in the temple, and ye took me not. 56 All this was done that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
