41. Then He came a third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Enough! The time has come. Look, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners.
42. Get up; let’s go! See — My betrayer is near.”
43. While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, suddenly arrived. With him was a mob, with swords and clubs, from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders.
44. His betrayer had given them a signal. “The One I kiss,” he said, “He’s the One; arrest Him and take Him away under guard.”
45. So when he came, he went right up to Him and said, “Rabbi! ” — and kissed Him.
46. Then they took hold of Him and arrested Him.
47. And one of those who stood by drew his sword, struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his ear.
48. But Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as though I were a criminal, to capture Me?
49. Every day I was among you, teaching in the temple complex, and you didn’t arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
50. Then they all deserted Him and ran away.
51. Now a certain young man, having a linen cloth wrapped around his naked body, was following Him. They caught hold of him,
52. but he left the linen cloth behind and ran away naked.
53. They led Jesus away to the high priest, and all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes convened.
54. Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the high priest’s courtyard. He was sitting with the temple police, warming himself by the fire.
55. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for testimony against Jesus to put Him to death, but they could find none.
