Jesus
Is Betrayed And Arrested
(Location:
The Garden Of Gethsemane- On The Mount Of Olives)
MATTHEW
26:
47 While He was still speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, arrived.
With him was a large crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from
the chief priests and the elders of the people. 48 Now
the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss
is the man; arrest Him." 49 Going at once
to Jesus, Judas said, "Greetings, Rabbi!" and kissed
Him. 50 Jesus replied, "Friend,
do what you came for." Then the men stepped forward, seized Jesus and arrested Him. 51 With
that, one of Jesus' companions reached for his sword, drew it out
and struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his ear. 52 "Put
your sword back in its place," Jesus said to him, "for
all who draw the sword will die by the sword. 53 Do
you think I cannot call on My Father, and He will at once put at
My disposal more than twelve legions of angels? 54 But
how then would the Scriptures be fulfilled that say it must happen
in this way?" 55 At that time Jesus said to the crowd, "Am
I leading a rebellion, that you have come out with swords and
clubs to capture me? Every day I sat in the temple courts
teaching, and you did not arrest Me. 56 But
this has all taken place that the writings of the prophets might
be fulfilled."
Then all the disciples deserted Him and fled.
MARK
14:
43 Just as He was speaking, Judas, one of the Twelve, appeared. With
him was a crowd armed with swords and clubs, sent from the chief
priests, the teachers of the law, and the elders. 44 Now
the betrayer had arranged a signal with them: "The one I kiss
is the man; arrest Him and lead Him away under guard." 45 Going
at once to Jesus, Judas said, "Rabbi!" and kissed Him. 46 The
men seized Jesus and arrested Him. 47 Then one
of those standing near drew his sword and struck the servant of
the high priest, cutting off his ear. 48 "Am
I leading a rebellion," said Jesus, "that
you have come out with swords and clubs to capture Me? 49 Every
day I was with you, teaching in the temple courts, and you did not
arrest Me. But the Scriptures must be fulfilled." 50 Then everyone deserted Him and fled. 51 A
young man, wearing nothing but a linen garment, was following
Jesus. When they seized him, 52 he fled naked,
leaving his garment behind.
LUKE
22:
47 While He was still speaking a crowd came up, and the man who was
called Judas, one of the Twelve, was leading them. He approached
Jesus to kiss Him, 48 but Jesus asked him, "Judas,
are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?" 49 When Jesus' followers saw what was going to happen,
they said, "Lord, should we strike with our swords?" 50 And
one of them struck the servant of the high priest, cutting off his
right ear. 51 But Jesus answered, "No
more of this!" And He touched the man's
ear and healed him. 52 Then Jesus said to the
chief priests, the officers of the temple guard, and the elders,
who had come for Him,
"Am I leading a rebellion, that you have come with swords and
clubs? 53 Every
day I was with you in the temple courts, and you did not lay a
hand on Me. But this is your hour--when darkness reigns."
JOHN
18:
1 When He had finished praying, Jesus left with His disciples and
crossed the Kidron Valley. On the other side there was an olive
grove, and He and His disciples went into it. 2 Now
Judas, who betrayed Him, knew the place, because Jesus had often
met there with His disciples. 3 So Judas came
to the grove, guiding a detachment of soldiers and some officials
from the chief priests and Pharisees. They were carrying torches,
lanterns and weapons. 4 Jesus, knowing all that
was going to happen to Him, went out and asked them, "Who
is it you want?" 5 "Jesus of
Nazareth," they replied. "I
am He," Jesus said. (And Judas the traitor was standing there with them.) 6 When
Jesus said, "I
am He,"
they drew back and fell to the ground. 7 Again
He asked them, "Who
is it you want?" And they said, "Jesus of Nazareth." 8 "I
told you that I am He,"
Jesus answered. "If
you are looking for Me, then let these men go." 9 This happened so that the words He had spoken would be fulfilled: "I
have not lost one of those You gave Me." 10 Then Simon Peter, who had a sword, drew it and
struck the high priest's servant, cutting off his right ear. (The
servant's name was Malchus.) 11 Jesus commanded
Peter, "Put
your sword away! Shall I not drink the cup the Father has given
Me?" 12 Then
the detachment of soldiers with its commander and the Jewish
officials arrested Jesus. They bound Him.
