The Message

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

⁴³ No sooner were the words out of his mouth when Judas, the one out of the Twelve, showed up, and with him a gang of ruffians, sent by the high priests, religion scholars, and leaders, brandishing swords and clubs. ⁴⁴ The betrayer had worked out a signal with them: "The one I kiss, that's the one - seize him. Make sure he doesn't get away." ⁴⁵ He went straight to Jesus and said, "Rabbi!" and kissed him. ⁴⁶ The others then grabbed him and roughed him up. ⁴⁷ One of the men standing there unsheathed his sword, swung, and came down on the Chief Priest's servant, lopping off the man's ear. ⁴⁸ Jesus said to them, "What is this, coming after me with swords and clubs as if I were a dangerous criminal? ⁴⁹ Day after day I've been sitting in the Temple teaching, and you never so much as lifted a hand against me. What you in fact have done is confirm the prophetic writings." ⁵⁰ All the disciples cut and ran.

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

⁴³ And immediately, even as Jesus said this, Judas, one of the twelve disciples, arrived with a crowd of men armed with swords and clubs. They had been sent by the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders. ⁴⁴ The traitor, Judas, had given them a prearranged signal: "You will know which one to arrest when I greet him with a kiss. Then you can take him away under guard." ⁴⁵ As soon as they arrived, Judas walked up to Jesus. "Rabbi!" he exclaimed, and gave him the kiss. ⁴⁶ Then the others grabbed Jesus and arrested him. ⁴⁷ But one of the men with Jesus pulled out his sword and struck the high priest's slave, slashing off his ear. ⁴⁸ Jesus asked them, "Am I some dangerous revolutionary, that you come with swords and clubs to arrest me? ⁴⁹ Why didn't you arrest me in the Temple? I was there among you teaching every day. But these things are happening to fulfill what the Scriptures say about me." ⁵⁰ Then all his disciples deserted him and ran away.
