43. Immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great crowd with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders.
44. Now he who betrayed Him had given them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the One. Seize Him and lead Him away safely.”
45. So as soon as he came, he went to Him immediately and said, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46. They laid hands on Him and seized Him.
47. Then one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48. Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would a thief?
49. Every day I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”
