Jesus’ Betrayal and Arrest

^47 (A)While He was still speaking, behold, ^(B)Judas, one of the twelve, came up ^[a]accompanied by a large crowd with swords and clubs, who came from the chief priests and elders of the people. ⁴⁸ Now he who was betraying Him gave them a sign, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; seize Him.” ⁴⁹ Immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Hail, ^(C)Rabbi!” and kissed Him. ⁵⁰ And Jesus said to him, “^(D)Friend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
