Luke 22:47-54

New King James Version

Betrayal and Arrest in Gethsemane^(A)

⁴⁷ And while He was still speaking, ^(B)behold, a multitude; and he who was called ^(C)Judas, one of the twelve, went before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss Him. ⁴⁸ But Jesus said to him, “Judas, are you betraying the Son of Man with a ^(D)kiss?”

⁴⁹ When those around Him saw what was going to happen, they said to Him, “Lord, shall we strike with the sword?” ⁵⁰ And ^(E)one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.

⁵¹ But Jesus answered and said, “Permit even this.” And He touched his ear and healed him.

^52 (F)Then Jesus said to the chief priests, captains of the temple, and the elders who had come to Him, “Have you come out, as against a ^(G)robber, with swords and clubs? ⁵³ When I was with you daily in the ^(H)temple, you did not try to seize Me. But this is your ^(I)hour, and the power of darkness.”

Peter Denies Jesus, and Weeps Bitterly^(J)

^54 (K)Having arrested Him, they led Him and brought Him into the high priest’s house. ^(L)But Peter followed at a distance.
