47 While Jesus was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, came. With him was a large crowd carrying swords and clubs. They had been sent by the chief priests and elders of the people.
48 His betrayer had given them a sign: "Arrest the man I kiss."
49 Just then he came to Jesus and said, "Hello, Rabbi." Then he kissed him.
50 But Jesus said to him, "Friend, do what you came to do." Then they came and grabbed Jesus and arrested him.
51 One of those with Jesus reached for his sword. Striking the high priest’s slave, he cut off his ear.
52 Then Jesus said to him, "Put the sword back into its place. All those who use the sword will die by the sword.
53 Or do you think that I’m not able to ask my Father and he will send to me more than twelve battle groups of angels right away?
