Jesus of Nazareth, A Biography, by John Mark
Jesus Christ
And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. And when
he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,)
neither wist they what to answer him. And he cometh the third time,
and saith unto them:
"Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come;
behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise up,
let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand."
And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief
priests and the scribes and the elders. And he that betrayed him had
given them a token, saying, "Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he;
take him, and lead him away safely."
And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith,
"Master, master;" and kissed him. And they laid their hands on him,
and took him. And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a
servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. And Jesus answered
and said unto them:
"Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to
take me? I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me
not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled."
And they all forsook him, and fled. And there followed him a certain
young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the
young men laid hold on him: and he left the linen cloth, and fled from
them naked.
And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled
all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. And Peter
followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest; and he
sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. And the chief
priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him
to death; and found none. For many bare false witness against him, but
their witness agreed not together. And there arose certain, and bare
false witness against him, saying:
"We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands,
and within three days I will build another made without hands.'"
But neither so did their witness agree together. And the high priest
stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying:
"Answerest thou nothing? What is it which these witness against thee?"
But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest
asked him, and said unto him:
"Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed?"
And Jesus said, "I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the
right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven."
Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, "What need we any
further witnesses? Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye?" And
they all condemned him to be guilty of death. And some began to spit
on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him,
"Prophesy:" and the servants did strike him with the palms of their
hands.
