Bible. Matthew
40:026:045 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saith unto them, Sleep on
now, and take your rest: behold, the hour is at hand, and the
Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners.
40:026:046 Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that doth betray
me.
40:026:047 And while he yet spake, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came,
and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from
the chief priests and elders of the people.
40:026:048 Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever
I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.
40:026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, master; and
kissed him.
40:026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore art thou come? Then
came they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
40:026:051 And, behold, one of them which were with Jesus stretched out
his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high
priest's, and smote off his ear.
40:026:052 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again thy sword into his
place: for all they that take the sword shall perish with the
sword.
40:026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he
shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
40:026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it
must be?
40:026:055 In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes, Are ye come
out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me?
I sat daily with you teaching in the temple, and ye laid no
hold on me.
40:026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets
might be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him, and
fled.
40:026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.
40:026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the high priest's palace,
and went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
40:026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought
false witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
40:026:060 But found none: yea, though many false witnesses came, yet
found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
40:026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to destroy the temple of
God, and to build it in three days.
40:026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto him, Answerest thou
nothing? what is it which these witness against thee?
40:026:063 But Jesus held his peace, And the high priest answered and
said unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou tell
us whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
