Then cometh he
to his disciples, and saith unto them, Do ye still sleep on, and repose
yourselves? lo! the hour is at hand, and the Son of man is betrayed
into the hands of sinners. (46)Arise, let us go: lo! he that betrayeth
me approaches.

(47)And while he was yet speaking, behold, 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. (48)Now he that betrayed him
had given them a signal, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that is he:
seize him. (49)And immediately approaching to Jesus, he said, Hail,
master; and kissed him. (50)Then spake Jesus to him, Friend, for what
purpose art thou here? Then approaching they laid hands on Jesus, and
seized him.

(51)And behold, one of those who were with Jesus stretching out his
hand, drew his sword, and striking at a servant of the high-priest, cut

sheath: for all who take the sword, shall perish by the sword.

(57)Then they who had apprehended Jesus, brought him to Caiaphas the
high-priest, where the scribes and elders were assembled. (58)But Peter
followed him at a great distance unto the palace of the high-priest,
and entering in, sat down with the servants, to see the issue. (59)Now
the chief priests and elders and the whole sanhedrim, sought false
witness against Jesus, that they might put him to death; (60)and found
none: and though many false witnesses came, they found it not
_sufficient_. But at the last two false witnesses stepping forth,
(61)said, This fellow said, I am able to pull down the temple of God,
and to build it up in three days. (62)And the high-priest rising up,
said to him, Answerest thou nothing? what do these men witness against
thee? (63)But Jesus was silent. And the high-priest addressing him,
said, I adjure thee, by the living God, that thou tell us, if thou art
the Messiah, the Son of Go
