Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane^(A)

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, ^(B)behold, a multitude; and he who was called ^(C)Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him.

⁴¹ Then He came the third time and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? It is enough! ^(A)The hour has come; behold, the Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of sinners. ^42 (B)Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand.”

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane^(C)

^43 (D)And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. ⁴⁴ Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I ^(E)kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely.”

⁴⁵ As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, “Rabbi, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.

⁴⁶ Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. ⁴⁷ And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

^48 (F)Then Jesus answered and said to them, “Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? ⁴⁹ I was daily with you in the temple ^(G)teaching, and you did not seize Me. But ^(H)the Scriptures must be fulfilled.”

^50 (I)Then they all forsook Him and fled.

² And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; ^(A)for Jesus often met there with His disciples. ^3 (B)Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. ⁴ Jesus therefore, ^(C)knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and said to them, “Whom are you seeking?”

⁵ They answered Him, ^(D)“Jesus ^[a]of Nazareth.”

Jesus said to them, “I am He.” And Judas, who ^(E)betrayed Him, also stood with them. ⁶ Now when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground.

⁷ Then He asked them again, “Whom are you seeking?”

And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.”

⁸ Jesus answered, “I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me, let these go their way,” ⁹ that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, ^(F)“Of those whom You gave Me I have lost none.”

^10 (G)Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant, and cut off his right ear. The servant’s name was Malchus.

¹¹ So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink ^(H)the cup which My Father has given Me?”

^3 (A)Then Satan entered Judas, surnamed Iscariot, who was numbered among the ^(B)twelve. ⁴ So he went his way and conferred with the chief priests and captains, how he might betray Him to them. ⁵ And they were glad, and ^(C)agreed to give him money. ⁶ So he promised and sought opportunity to ^(D)betray Him to them in the absence of the multitude.
