47And while he was still talking, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a band armed with swords and sticks, from the chief priests and those in authority over the people.
48Now the false one had given them a sign saying, The one to whom I give a kiss, that is he: take him.
49And straight away he came to Jesus and said, Master! and gave him a kiss.
50And Jesus said to him, Friend, do that for which you have come. Then they came and put hands on Jesus, and took him.
51And one of those who were with Jesus put out his hand, and took out his sword and gave the servant of the high priest a blow, cutting off his ear.
52Then says Jesus to him, Put up your sword again into its place: for all those who take the sword will come to death by the sword.
53Does it not seem possible to you that if I make request to my Father he will even now send me an army of angels?
