47 While he was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, arrived, and with him was a large crowd with swords and clubs, sent from the leaders of the priests and the elders of the people.
48 And he who betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: 'Whomever I will kiss, it is he. Take hold of him.'
49 And quickly drawing close to Jesus, he said, 'Hail, Master.' And he kissed him.
50 And Jesus said to him, 'Friend, for what purpose have you come?' Then they approached, and they put their hands on Jesus, and they held him.
51 And behold, one of those who were with Jesus, extending his hand, drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear.
