Seeker Overlay ON

* And while he yet spake , lo , Judas , one of the twelve , came , and with him a great multitude with swords and staves , from the chief priests and elders of the people . * Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign , saying , Whomsoever I shall kiss , that same is he : hold him fast . * And forthwith he came to Jesus , and said , Hail , master ; and kissed him . * And Jesus said unto him , Friend , wherefore art thou come ? Then came they , and laid hands on Jesus , and took him . * And , behold , one of them which were with Jesus stretched out his hand , and drew his sword , and struck a servant of the high priest 's , and smote off his ear . * Then said Jesus unto him , Put up again thy sword into his place : for all they that take the sword shall perish with the sword . * Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my Father , and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels ? * But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled , that thus it must be ? * In that same hour said Jesus to the multitudes , Are ye come out as against a thief with swords and staves for to take me ? I sat daily with you teaching in the temple , and ye laid no hold on me . * But all this was done , that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled . Then all the disciples forsook him , and fled .
