Jesus'
Capture
Matthew 26:46-57
46. Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand." 47
And while He was still speaking, behold, Judas, one of the twelve, with a great
multitude with swords and clubs, came from the chief priests and elders of the
people. 48
Now His betrayer had given them a sign, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the
One; seize Him." 49
Immediately he went up to Jesus and said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and
kissed Him. 50
But Jesus said to him, "Friend, why have you come?" Then they came and
laid hands on Jesus and took Him. 51
And suddenly, one of those who were with Jesus stretched out his hand and drew
his sword, struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. 52
But Jesus said to him, "Put your sword in its place, for all who take the
sword will perish by the sword. 53
Or do you think that I cannot now pray to My Father, and He will provide Me with
more than twelve legions of angels? 54
How then could the Scriptures be fulfilled, that it must happen thus?" 55
In that hour Jesus said to the multitudes, "Have you come out, as against a
robber, with swords and clubs to take Me? I sat daily with you, teaching in the
temple, and you did not seize Me. 56
But all this was done that the Scriptures of the prophets might be
fulfilled." Then all the disciples forsook Him and fled. 57
And those who had laid hold of Jesus led Him away to Caiaphas the high priest,
where the scribes and the elders were assembled
Mark 14:42-50
42 Rise, let us be going. See, My betrayer is at hand." 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.
Luke
22: 47-54
And while He was still speaking, behold, a multitude; and he who was called
Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. 48
But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a
kiss?" 49
When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him,
"Lord, shall we strike with the sword?" 50
And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.
51
But Jesus answered and said, "Permit even this." And He touched his
ear and healed him. 52
Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who
had come to Him, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and
clubs? 53
When I was with you daily in the temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this
is your hour, and the power of darkness." 54
Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest's house.
But Peter followed at a distance.
John 18:1-12
1
When Jesus had spoken these words, He went out with His disciples over the Brook
Kidron, where there was a garden, which He and His disciples entered. 2
And Judas, who betrayed Him, also knew the place; for Jesus often met there with
His disciples. 3
Then Judas, having received a detachment of troops, and officers from the chief
priests and Pharisees, came there with lanterns, torches, and weapons. 4
Jesus therefore, knowing all things that would come upon Him, went forward and
said to them, "Whom are you seeking?" 5
They answered Him, "Jesus of Nazareth." Jesus said to them, "I am
He." And Judas, who betrayed Him, also stood with them. 6
Now when He said to them, "I am He," they drew back and fell to the
ground. 7
Then He asked them again, "Whom are you seeking?" And they said,
"Jesus of Nazareth." 8
Jesus answered, "I have told you that I am He. Therefore, if you seek Me,
let these go their way," 9
that the saying might be fulfilled which He spoke, "Of those whom You gave
Me I have lost none." 10
Then Simon Peter, having a sword, drew it and struck the high priest's servant,
and cut off his right ear. The servant's name was Malchus. 11
So Jesus said to Peter, "Put your sword into the sheath. Shall I not drink
the cup which My Father has given Me?" 12
Then the detachment of troops and the captain and the officers of the Jews
arrested Jesus and bound Him.
