47While he was still speaking, behold, a crowd, and the one called Judas, one of the twelve, came before them and drew near to Jesus to kiss him.48Jesus then said to him, Judas, are you delivering the Son of Man with a kiss?49When those around him saw what was about to happen, they said, Lord, shall we strike with the sword?50And one of them struck the servant of the high priest and cut off his right ear.51Jesus answered, "Permit this." And touching the ear, he healed him.52Jesus said to the chief priests and officers of the temple and elders who had come against him, Have you come out as against a robber with swords and clubs?53When I was with you day after day in the temple, you did not stretch out your hands against me; but this is your hour and the authority of darkness.
