* And immediately , while he yet spake , cometh Judas , one of the twelve , and with him a great multitude with swords and staves , from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders . * And he that betrayed him had given them a token , saying , Whomsoever I shall kiss , that same is he ; take him , and lead him away safely . * And as soon as he was come , he goeth straightway to him , and saith , Master , master ; and kissed him . * And they laid their hands on him , and took him . * And one of them that stood by drew a sword , and smote a servant of the high priest , and cut off his ear . * And Jesus answered and said unto them , Are ye come out , as against a thief , with swords and with staves to take me ? * I was daily with you in the temple teaching , and ye took me not : but the scriptures must be fulfilled . * And they all forsook him , and fled . * And there followed him a certain young man , having a linen cloth cast about his naked body ; and the young men laid hold on him : * And he left the linen cloth , and fled from them naked . * And they led Jesus away to the high priest : and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes . * And Peter followed him afar off , even into the palace of the high priest : and he sat with the servants , and warmed himself at the fire . * And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death ; and found none . * For many bare false witness against him , but their witness agreed not together . * And there arose certain , and bare false witness against him , saying , * We heard him say , I will destroy this temple that is made with hands , and within three days I will build another made without hands . * But neither so did their witness agree together . * And the high priest stood up in the midst , and asked Jesus , saying , Answerest thou nothing ? what is it which these witness against thee ? * But he held his peace , and answered nothing . Again the high priest asked him , and said unto him , Art thou the Christ , the Son of the Blessed ? * And Jesus said , I am : and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power , and coming in the clouds of heaven . * Then the high priest rent his clothes , and saith , What need we any further witnesses ? * Ye have heard the blasphemy : what think ye ? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death . * And some began to spit on him , and to cover his face , and to buffet him , and to say unto him , Prophesy : and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands .
