^(az)While He was still speaking, behold, a crowd came, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, was preceding them; and he approached Jesus to kiss Him.

But Jesus said to him, "Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?"

When those who were around Him saw what was going to happen, they said, "Lord, shall we strike with the ^(ba)sword?"

And one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

But Jesus answered and said, "^[j]Stop! No more of this." And He touched his ear and healed him.

Then Jesus said to the chief priests and ^(bb)officers of the temple and elders who had come against Him, "Have you come out with swords and clubs ^(bc)as you would against a robber?

While I was with you daily in the temple, you did not lay hands on Me; but ^[k]this hour and the power of darkness are yours."
