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?
54But how then would the Writings come true, which say that so it has to be?
55In that hour Jesus said to the people, Have you come out as against a thief with swords and sticks to take me? I was teaching every day in the Temple and you took me not.
56But all this has taken place so that the writings of the prophets might come true. Then all his disciples went from him in flight.
57And those who had made Jesus prisoner took him away to the house of Caiaphas, the high priest, where the scribes and those in authority over the people had come together.
