^47 (A)And while he yet spake, lo, Judas one of the twelve came, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, ^[a]from the high Priests and Elders of the people.

⁴⁸ Now he that betrayed him, had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he, lay hold on him.

⁴⁹ And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, God save thee, Master, and kissed him.

^50 [b]Then Jesus said unto him, ^[c]Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then came they, and laid hands on Jesus, and took him.

⁵¹ And behold, one of them which were with Jesus, stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high Priest, and smote off his ear.

^52 [d]Then said Jesus unto him, Put up thy sword into his place: ^(B)for all that ^[e]take the sword, shall perish with the sword.

^53 [f]Either thinkest thou, that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he will give me more than twelve legions of Angels?

^54 [g]How then should the ^(C)Scriptures be fulfilled, which say, that it must be so?

⁵⁵ The same hour said Jesus to the multitude, Ye be come out as it were against a thief, with swords and staves to take me: I sat daily teaching in the Temple among you, and ye took me not.

⁵⁶ But all this was done, that the Scriptures of the Prophets might be fulfilled. ^(D)Then all the disciples forsook him, and fled.
