43 And while he was still speaking, Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests, and the scribes, and the elders.
44 Now his betrayer had given them a sign, saying: "He whom I shall kiss, it is he. Take hold of him, and lead him away cautiously."
45 And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: "Hail, Master!" And he kissed him.
46 But they laid hands on him and held him.
47 Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And in response, Jesus said to them: "Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?
49 Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled."
