Mark 14:43-52

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
43 And immediately, while[a] he was still speaking, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one.[b] Arrest him and lead him[c] away under guard!” 45 And when he[d] arrived, he came up to him immediately and[e] said, “Rabbi,” and kissed him. 46 So they laid hands on him and arrested him.
47 But a certain one of the bystanders, drawing his[f] sword, struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus answered and[g] said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? 49 Every day I was with you in the temple courts[h] teaching, and you did not arrest me! But this has happened[i] in order that the scriptures would be fulfilled. 50 And they all abandoned him and[j] fled.
51 And a certain young man was following him, clothed only in a linen cloth on his naked body. And they attempted to seize[k] him, 52 but he left behind the linen cloth and[l] fled naked.
