Mark 14 : 43 - 54
| 43 | And immediately, while He was still speaking, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. |
| 44 | Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely." |
| 45 | As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him. |
| 46 | Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him. |
| 47 | And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. |
| 48 | Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? |
| 49 | I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled." |
| 50 | Then they all forsook Him and fled. |
| 51 | Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him, |
| 52 | and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked. |
| 53 | And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes. |
| 54 | But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire. |
