The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

The Betrayal and Arrest of Jesus

47And while[fn] he was still speaking, behold, Judas—one of the twelve—arrived, and with him a large crowd with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people. 48Now the one who was betraying him had given them a sign, saying, “The one whom I kiss—he is the one.[fn] Arrest him!” 49And he came up to Jesus immediately and[fn] said, “Greetings, Rabbi,” and kissed him. 50And Jesus said to him, “Friend, do that[fn] for which you have come.”[fn] Then they came up and[fn] laid hands on Jesus and arrested him.

51And behold, one of those with Jesus extended his[fn] hand and[fn] drew his sword, and striking the slave of the high priest, cut off his ear. 52Then Jesus said to him, “Put your sword back into its place! For all who take up the sword will die by the sword. 53Or do you think that I cannot call upon my Father, and he would put at my disposal at once more than twelve legions of angels? 54How then would the scriptures be fulfilled that it must happen in this way?”

55At that time Jesus said to the crowds, “Have you come out with swords and clubs, as against a robber, to arrest me? Every day in the temple courts[fn] I sat teaching, and you did not arrest me! 56But all this has happened in order that the scriptures of the prophets would be fulfilled.” Then the disciples all abandoned him and[fn] fled.


26:47 *Here “while” is supplied as a component of the temporal genitive absolute participle (“was … speaking”)

26:48 *Here the predicate nominative (“the one”) is implied

26:49 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came up”) has been translated as a finite verb

26:50 *The words “do that” are not in the Greek text but are implied

26:50 The meaning of this phrase is disputed: (1) some take it as a declarative (as in the translation); (2) others understand it as some form of a question, often with supplied words: (a) “Friend, are you misusing the kiss for that purpose for which you are here?” (b) “Friend, in connection with that for which you have appeared do you kiss me ?” (c) “Friend, are you here for this purpose?” (d) “Friend, what are you here for?”; this last option, though often suggested, is doubtful because of lack of evidence for the relative pronoun used as an interrogative in direct questions

26:50 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“came up”) has been translated as a finite verb

26:51 *Literally “the”; the Greek article is used here as a possessive pronoun

26:51 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“extended”) has been translated as a finite verb

26:55 *Here “courts” is supplied to distinguish this area from the interior of the temple building itself

26:56 *Here “and” is supplied because the previous participle (“abandoned”) has been translated as a finite verb
