45 And when he had arrived, immediately drawing near to him, he said: 'Hail, Master!' And he kissed him.
46 But they laid hands on him and held him.
47 Then a certain one of those standing near, drawing a sword, struck a servant of the high priest and cut off his ear.
48 And in response, Jesus said to them: 'Have you set out to apprehend me, just as if to a robber, with swords and clubs?
49 Daily, I was with you in the temple teaching, and you did not take hold of me. But in this way, the scriptures are fulfilled.'
