Mark 14:43-50

Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

43  a And immediately, while he was still speaking b Judas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44 Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45 And when he came, he went up to him at once and said c Rabbi!” And he d kissed him. 46 And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his e sword and struck the servant
Greek bondservant
of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49  g Day after day I was with you in the temple h teaching, and you did not seize me. But i let the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50  j And they all left him and fled.
