And while he yet spake, behold a multitude, and he that was called
Judas, one of the twelve, went before them, and drew near unto
Jesus to kiss him. But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest thou
the Son of man with a kiss? When they which were about him saw what
would follow, they said unto him, Lord, shall we smite with the
sword? And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and
cut off his right ear. And Jesus answered and said, Suffer ye thus
far. And he touched his ear, and healed him. Then Jesus said unto
the chief priests, and captains of the temple, and the elders,
which were come to him, Be ye come out, as against a thief, with
swords and staves? When I was daily with you in the temple, ye
stretched forth no hands against me; but this is your hour, and the
power of darkness. Then took they him, and led him, and brought him
into the high priest's house. And Peter followed afar off.... And
as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief
priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their
council, saying, Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto
them, If I tell you, ye will not believe: And if I also ask you, ye
will not answer me, nor let me go. Hereafter shall the Son of man
sit on the right hand of the power of God. Then said they all, Art
thou then the Son of God? And he said unto them, Ye say that I am.
And they said, What need we any further witness? for we ourselves
have heard of his own mouth.
