43 ^aAnd immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, *came up, ^{▼▼Lit and with him}accompanied by a crowd with swords and clubs who were from the chief priests, the scribes, and the elders. 44 Now he who was betraying Him had given them a signal, saying, “Whomever I kiss, He is the one; arrest Him and lead Him away ^{▼▼Lit safely}under guard.” 45 And after coming, Judas immediately went to Him and *said, “ ^dRabbi!” and kissed Him. 46 And they laid hands on Him and arrested Him. 47 But one of those who stood by drew his sword, and struck the slave of the high priest and ^{▼▼Lit took off}cut off his ear. 48 And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out with swords and clubs to arrest Me, as you would against a man inciting a revolt? 49 Every day I was with you ^fwithin the temple grounds teaching, and you did not arrest Me; but this has taken place so that the Scriptures will be fulfilled.” 50 And ^{▼▼Lit they}His disciples all left Him and fled.
