Matthew 26:47-56

Thomson(i) 47 And while he was yet speaking, lo! Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, and the elders of the people. 48 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying, The person I shall kiss is he; Secure him. 49 So coming directly up to Jesus, he said, Hail, Rabbi! and kissed him. 50 And Jesus said to him, Companion! for what purpose art thou come? Then others, advancing, laid hands on Jesus, and held him. 51 Upon which one of them who were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52 Thereupon Jesus saith to him, Return thy sword to its place. For are all who have taken a sword to perish by a sword? 53 Or dost thou think that I cannot now address ray father, who can send to my assistance, more than twelve legions of angels? 54 How then would the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? 55 At that instant Jesus was saying to the multitudes, Are you come out as against a rubber with swords and clubs, to take me? Day after day I sat before you teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hold on me. 56 But all this is done that the writings of the prophets may be confirmed. Then all the disciples forsook him and fled.
