43. Right away, while Yeshua was still speaking, Judah comes up, one of the Twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the ruling kohanim, Torah scholars, and elders.
44. Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “The One I kiss, He’s the One! Seize Him and lead Him away under guard.”
45. As soon as Judah came, he drew near to Yeshua and said, “Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
46. Then they threw their hands on Yeshua and seized Him.
47. But one of the bystanders, drawing his sword, struck the servant of the kohen gadol and cut off his ear.
48. Yeshua said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, to capture Me as you would against a revolutionary?
49. Every day I was with you in the Temple teaching, and you didn’t seize Me. But this is so that the Scriptures would be fulfilled.”
50. And all fled, abandoning Him.
51. A certain young man was following Him, with nothing but a linen cloth around his body, and they grabbed him.
52. But he ran away naked, leaving behind the linen cloth.
53. Then they led Yeshua away to the kohen gadol . And all the ruling kohanim, elders, and Torah scholars gathered.
