Matthew 26:47-56

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 ^aAnd while He was still speaking, behold, ^bJudas, one of the twelve, came up, and with him was 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 And immediately Judas went to Jesus and said, “Greetings, ^aRabbi!” and kissed Him. 50 And Jesus said to him, “^aFriend, do what you have come for.” Then they came and laid hands on Jesus and seized Him.
51 And behold, ^aone of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew out his ^bsword and struck the ^aslave of the high priest and ¹cut off his ear. 52 Then Jesus *said to him, “Put your sword back into its place; for ^aall those who take up the sword shall perish by the sword. 53 Or do you think that I cannot appeal to My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve ¹^alegions of ^bangels? 54 Therefore, how will ^athe Scriptures be fulfilled, which say that it must happen this way?”
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would against a robber? ^aEvery day I used to sit in the temple teaching and you did not seize Me. 56 But all this has taken place in order that ^athe Scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples left Him and fled.

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47 ^aWhile He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was coming ahead of them, and he approached Jesus to kiss Him. 48 But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49 And when those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, “Lord, shall we strike with the ^asword?” 50 And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51 But Jesus answered and said, “¹Stop! No more of this.” And He touched his ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ^aofficers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, “Have you come out with swords and clubs ^bas against a robber? 53 While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against Me, but ¹this hour and the authority of darkness are yours.”

John 18:1-12

Jesus Betrayed and Arrested

When Jesus had spoken these words, ^aHe went forth with His disciples to the other side of ^bthe Kidron Valley, where there was ^ca garden, into which He entered ¹with His disciples. 2 Now Judas also, who was ¹betraying Him, knew the place, for Jesus had ^aoften gathered there with His disciples. 3 ^aJudas then, having received ^bthe Roman ¹cohort and ^cofficers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, *came there with lanterns and ^dtorches and weapons. 4 So Jesus, ^aknowing all the things that were coming upon Him, went forth and *said to them, “^bWhom do you seek?” 5 They answered Him, “Jesus the Nazarene.” He *said to them, “I am He.” And Judas also, who was betraying Him, was standing with them. 6 So when He said to them, “I am He,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Therefore He again asked them, “^aWhom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus the Nazarene.” 8 Jesus answered, “I told you that I am He; so if you seek Me, let these go their way,” 9 in order that the word which He spoke would be fulfilled, “^aOf those whom You have given Me, I lost not one.” 10 Simon Peter then, ^ahaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s slave, and cut off his right ear; and the slave’s name was Malchus. 11 So Jesus said to Peter, “Put the sword into the sheath; ^athe cup which the Father has given Me, shall I not drink it?”

Jesus Before the Priests; Peter Denies Jesus
