51. And behold one of them that were with Jesus, stretching forth his hand, drew out his sword: and striking the servant of the high priest, cut off his ear.
52. Then Jesus saith to him: Put up again thy sword into its place: for all that take the sword shall perish with the sword.
53. Thinkest thou that I cannot ask my Father, and he will give me presently more than twelve legions of angels?
54. How then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that so it must be done?
55. In that same hour Jesus said to the multitudes: You are come out as it were to a robber with swords and clubs to apprehend me. I sat daily with you, teaching in the temple, and you laid not hands on me.
56. Now all this was done, that the scriptures of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then the disciples all leaving him, fled.
57. But they holding Jesus led him to Caiphas the high priest, where the scribes and the ancients were assembled.
