Judas Betrays Jesus

He approached Jesus to ^[a]kiss Him.^(A) ⁴⁸And Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a kiss?” ⁴⁹When those who were around Him saw what was about to happen, they said, “Lord, should we strike with the sword?” ⁵⁰And ^[b]one of them struck the slave of the high priest and cut off his right ear.^(B) ⁵¹But Jesus replied, “Stop! No more of this.” And He touched the ear and healed him.
