| 47 | While he was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared; with him was a great crowd armed with swords and cudgels, sent by the chief priests and the elders of the nation. | The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus Mt.26.47-56 (Gethsemane) | Mk.14.43-50 | Lk.22.47-53 | Jn.18.3-12 | Καὶ ἐτι αὐτοῦ λαλοῦντος ἰδοὺ Ἰούδας εἷς τῶν δώδεκα ἦλθεν καὶ μετ' αὐτοῦ ὀχλος πολὺς μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων ἀπὸ τῶν ἀρχιερέων καὶ πρεσβυτέρων τοῦ λαοῦ. |
| 48 | The traitor gave them this sign: 'The one I kiss is your man; seize him'; | ὁ δὲ παραδιδοὺς αὐτὸν ἐδωκεν αὐτοῖς σημεῖον λέγων, Ὅν ἂν φιλήσω αὐτός ἐστιν· κρατήσατε αὐτόν. | |
| 49 | and stepping forward at once, he said, 'Hail, Rabbi!', and kissed him. | καὶ εὐθέως προσελθὼν τῷ Ἰησοῦ εἶπεν, Χαῖρε, Ῥαββί· καὶ κατεφίλησεν αὐτόν. | |
| 50 | Jesus replied, 'Friend, do what you are here to do.' Or: Friend, what are you here for? They then came forward, seized Jesus, and held him fast. | ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς εἶπεν αὐτῷ, Ἑταῖρε, ἐφ' ὃ πάρει. τότε προσελθόντες ἐπέβαλον τὰς χεῖρας ἐπὶ τὸν Ἰησοῦν καὶ ἐκράτησαν αὐτόν. | |
| 51 | At that moment one of those with Jesus reached for his sword and drew it, and he struck at the High Priest's servant and cut off his ear. | καὶ ἰδοὺ εἷς τῶν μετὰ Ἰησοῦ ἐκτείνας τὴν χεῖρα ἀπέσπασεν τὴν μάχαιραν αὐτοῦ καὶ πατάξας τὸν δοῦλον τοῦ ἀρχιερέως ἀφεῖλεν αὐτοῦ τὸ ὠτίον. | |
| 52 | But Jesus said to him, 'Put up your sword. All who take the sword die by the sword. | τότε λέγει αὐτῷ ὁ Ἰησοῦς, Ἀπόστρεψον τὴν μάχαιράν σου εἰς τὸν τόπον αὐτῆς, πάντες γὰρ οἱ λαβόντες μάχαιραν ἐν μαχαίρῃ ἀπολοῦνται. | |
| 53 | Do you suppose that I cannot appeal to my Father, who would at once send to my aid more than twelve legions of angels? | ἢ δοκεῖς ὅτι οὐ δύναμαι παρακαλέσαι τὸν πατέρα μου, καὶ παραστήσει μοι ἀρτι πλείω δώδεκα λεγιῶνας ἀγγέλων; | |
| 54 | But how then could the scriptures be fulfilled, which say that this must be?' | πῶς οὖν πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ ὅτι οὑτως δεῖ γενέσθαὶ; | |
| 55 | At the same time Jesus spoke to the crowd. 'Do you take me for a bandit,' he said, 'that you have come out with swords and cudgels to arrest me? Day after day I sat teaching in the temple, and you did not lay hands on me. | Ἐν ἐκείνῃ τῇ ὡρᾳ εἶπεν ὁ Ἰησοῦς τοῖς ὀχλοις, Ὡς ἐπὶ λῃστὴν ἐξήλθατε μετὰ μαχαιρῶν καὶ ξύλων συλλαβεῖν μὲ καθ' ἡμέραν ἐν τῷ ἱερῷ ἐκαθεζόμην διδάσκων καὶ οὐκ ἐκρ ατήσατέ με. | |
| 56 | But this has all happened to fulfil what the prophets wrote.' Then the disciples all deserted him and ran away. | τοῦτο δὲ ὁλον γέγονεν ἵνα πληρωθῶσιν αἱ γραφαὶ τῶν προφητῶν. Τότε οἱ μαθηταὶ πάντες ἀφέντες αὐτὸν ἐφυγον. | |
