Luke 22:47-53
1599 Geneva Bible
47 ¶ (A)[a]And while he yet spake, behold, a company, and he that was called Judas one of the twelve, went before them, and came near unto Jesus to kiss him.
48 And Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou the Son of man with a kiss?
49 [b]Now when they which were about him, saw what would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the sword?
50 And one of them smote a servant of the high Priest, and struck off his right ear.
51 Then Jesus answered, and said, Suffer them thus far: and he touched his ear, and healed him.
52 [c]Then Jesus said unto the high Priests, and captains of the Temple, and the Elders which were come to him, Be ye come out as unto a thief with swords and staves?
53 When I was daily with you in the Temple, ye stretched not forth the hands against me: but this is your very hour, and the [d]power of darkness.
