Mark 14:43-52
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
43 aAnd immediately, while he was still speaking, bJudas came, one of the twelve, and with him a crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. 44Now the betrayer had given them a sign, saying, “The one I will kiss is the man. Seize him and lead him away under guard.” 45And when he came, he went up to him at once and said, c“Rabbi!” And he dkissed him. 46And they laid hands on him and seized him. 47But one of those who stood by drew his esword and struck the servant ▼▼Greek bondservant
of the high priest and cut off his ear. 48And Jesus said to them, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs to capture me? 49 gDay after day I was with you in the temple hteaching, and you did not seize me. But ilet the Scriptures be fulfilled.” 50 jAnd they all left him and fled. A Young Man Flees
51And a young man followed him, with nothing but ka linen cloth about his body. And they seized him, 52but he left the linen cloth and ran away naked.Luke 22:47-53
Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus
47 lWhile he was still speaking, there came a crowd, and the man called mJudas, one of the twelve, was leading them. He drew near to Jesus to kiss him, 48but Jesus said to him, “Judas, would you betray the Son of Man with a kiss?” 49And when those who were around him saw what would follow, they said, “Lord, shall we strike nwith the sword?” 50And one of them struck the servant ▼▼Greek bondservant
of the high priest and cut off his right ear. 51But Jesus said, “No more of this!” And he touched his ear and healed him. 52Then Jesus said to the chief priests and pofficers of the temple and elders, who had come out against him, “Have you come out as against a robber, with swords and clubs? 53When qI was with you day after day in the temple, you did not lay hands on me. But this is ryour hour, and sthe power of darkness.” John 18:2-12
2Now Judas, who betrayed him, also knew tthe place, for uJesus often met there with his disciples. 3 vSo Judas, having procured a band of soldiers and some officers from the chief priests and the Pharisees, went there with lanterns and torches and weapons. 4Then Jesus, wknowing all that would happen to him, came forward and said to them, x“Whom do you seek?” 5They answered him, “Jesus of Nazareth.” Jesus said to them, “I am he.” ▼▼Greek I am; also verses 6, 8
Judas, who betrayed him, was standing with them. 6 zWhen Jesus ▼▼Greek he
said to them, “I am he,” they drew back and fell to the ground. 7So he asked them again, ab“Whom do you seek?” And they said, “Jesus of Nazareth.” 8Jesus answered, “I told you that I am he. So, if you seek me, let these men go.” 9 acThis was to fulfill the word that he had spoken: “Of those whom you gave me I have lost not one.” 10Then Simon Peter, adhaving a sword, drew it and struck the high priest’s servant ▼▼Greek bondservant; twice in this verse
and cut off his right ear. (The servant’s name was Malchus.) 11So Jesus said to Peter, “Put your sword into its sheath; afshall I not drink the cup that the Father has given me?” Jesus Faces Annas and Caiaphas
12So the band of soldiers and their captain and the officers of the Jews ▼▼Greek Ioudaioi probably refers here to Jewish religious leaders, and others under their influence, in that time; also verses 14, 31, 36, 38
arrested Jesus and bound him.
