Mark 14 : 43 - 54

Chapter 14

43And 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.
44Now His betrayer had given them a signal, saying, "Whomever I kiss, He is the One; seize Him and lead Him away safely."
45As soon as he had come, immediately he went up to Him and said to Him, "Rabbi, Rabbi!" and kissed Him.
46Then they laid their hands on Him and took Him.
47And one of those who stood by drew his sword and struck the servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.
48Then Jesus answered and said to them, "Have you come out, as against a robber, with swords and clubs to take Me?
49I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and you did not seize Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled."
50Then they all forsook Him and fled.
51Now a certain young man followed Him, having a linen cloth thrown around his naked body. And the young men laid hold of him,
52and he left the linen cloth and fled from them naked.
53And they led Jesus away to the high priest; and with him were assembled all the chief priests, the elders, and the scribes.
54But Peter followed Him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. And he sat with the servants and warmed himself at the fire.
