Move to Galilee

Now when Jesus heard that John was arrested, he went to Galilee.

They were plotting to arrest Jesus by cunning tricks and to kill him.

Arrest

While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came. With him was a large crowd carrying swords and clubs. They had been sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.

But Jesus said to him, “Friend, do what you came to do.” Then they came and grabbed Jesus and arrested him.

Then Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come with swords and clubs to arrest me, like a thief? Day after day, I sat in the temple teaching, but you didn’t arrest me.

Jesus before the council

Those who arrested Jesus led him to Caiaphas the high priest. The legal experts and the elders had gathered there.
