Mark 14:43-52
New Matthew Bible
43 And immediately, while he yet spoke, came Judas, one of the twelve. With him was a large band of people with swords and clubs, sent from the high priests and scribes and elders. 44 And he who betrayed him had arranged a sign, saying, Whomever I kiss, he it is; take him and lead him away warily.
45 And as soon as Judas had come, he went straightaway to Jesus and said to him, Master, Master! and kissed him. 46 And they laid their hands on him and took him. 47 And one of those who stood by drew out a sword and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus spoke and said to them, You have come out as if to a thief, with swords and with clubs to capture me. 49 I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take me. But the scriptures must be fulfilled.
50 And they all forsook him, and ran away. 51 And he had a follower, a certain young man clothed in linen upon the bare. And the young men caught him, 52 but he left his linen cloth and fled from them naked.
