40:026:049 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said,
Hail, master; and
kissed
him.
40:026:050 And Jesus said unto him, Friend, wherefore
art thou come? Then
came
they, and laid hands on Jesus and took him.
40:026:051 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.
40:026:052 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.
40:026:053 Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to
my Father, and he
shall
presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?
40:026:054 But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled,
that thus it
must
be?
40:026:055 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.
40:026:056 But all this was done, that the scriptures
of the prophets
might
be fulfilled. Then all the disciples forsook him,
and
fled.
40:026:057 And they that had laid hold on Jesus led
him away to Caiaphas
the
high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembled.
40:026:058 But Peter followed him afar off unto the
high priest’s palace,
and
went in, and sat with the servants, to see the end.
40:026:059 Now the chief priests, and elders, and
all the council, sought
false
witness against Jesus, to put him to death;
40:026:060 But found none: yea, though many false
witnesses came, yet
found
they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
40:026:061 And said, This fellow said, I am able to
destroy the temple of
God,
and to build it in three days.
40:026:062 And the high priest arose, and said unto
him, Answerest thou
nothing?
what is it which these witness against thee?
40:026:063 But Jesus held his peace, And the high
priest answered and
said
unto him, I adjure thee by the living God, that thou
tell
us
whether thou be the Christ, the Son of God.
40:026:064 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said:
nevertheless I say unto
you,
Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the
right
hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
40:026:065 Then the high priest rent his clothes,
saying, He hath spoken
blasphemy;
what further need have we of witnesses? behold, now
ye
have heard his blasphemy.
40:026:066 What think ye? They answered and said, He is guilty of death.
