48 Now the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: “The One I kiss is the man; arrest Him.”
49 Going directly to Jesus, he said, “Greetings, Rabbi!” and kissed Him.
50 “Friend,” Jesus replied, “do what you came for.” Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus, and arrested Him.
51 At this, one of Jesus’ companions drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
52 “Put your sword back in its place,” Jesus said to him. “For all who draw the sword will die by the sword.
53 Are you not aware that I can call on My Father, and He will at once put at My disposal more than twelve legions of angels?
54 But how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen this way?”
55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me as you would an outlaw? Every day I sat teaching in the temple courts, and you did not arrest Me.
56 But this has all happened so that the writings of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
57 Those who had arrested Jesus led Him away to the house of Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and elders had gathered.
58 But Peter followed Him at a distance, right up to the courtyard of the high priest. And he went in and sat down with the guards to see the outcome.
59 Now the chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were seeking false testimony against Jesus in order to put Him to death.
