51And behold, one of them that were with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and smote the servant of the high priest, and struck off his ear.
52Then saith Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into its place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53Or thinkest thou that I cannot beseech my Father, and he shall even now send me more than twelve legions of angels?
54How then should the scriptures be fulfilled that thus it must be?
55In that hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come out as against a robber with swords and staves to seize me? I sat daily in the temple teaching, and ye took me not.
56But all this is come to pass, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples left him, and fled.
57And they that had taken Jesus led him away to [the house of] Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were gathered together.
