47 Jesus was still speaking, when Judasthe betrayer came up. He was one of the twelve disciples, and a large mob armed with swords and clubs was with him. They had been sent by the chief priests and the nation’s leaders. 48 Judas had told them ahead of time, "Arrest the man I greet with a kiss."26.48 the man I greet with a kiss: It was the custom for people to greet each other with a kiss on the cheek.
49 Judaswalked right up to Jesusand said, "Hello, teacher." Then Judaskissed him.
50 Jesusreplied, "My friend, do what you came for."26.50 do what you came for: Or "why are you here?"
The men grabbed Jesusand arrested him. 51 One of Jesus' followers pulled out a sword. He struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
52 But Jesustold him, "Put your sword away. Anyone who lives by fighting will die by fighting. 53 Don’t you know that I could ask my Father, and he would at once send me more than twelve armies of angels? 54 But then, how could the words of the Scriptures come true, which say this must happen?"
55 Lk 19.47;21.37.Jesussaid to the mob, "Why do you come with swords and clubs to arrest me like a criminal? Day after day I sat and taught in the temple, and you didn’t arrest me. 56 But all this happened, so that what the prophets wrote would come true."
