Matthew 26:46-54 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

46. Rise, let us be going: behold, he is at hand that does betray me.

47. And while he yet spoke, lo, Judas, one of the twelve, came, and with him a great multitude with swords and clubs, from the chief priests and elders of the people.

48. Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he: hold him fast.

49. And immediately he came to Jesus, and said, Hail, Teacher; and kissed him.

50. And Jesus said unto him,

51. And, behold, one of them who was with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his sword, and struck a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear.

52. Then said Jesus unto him,

53. Think you that I cannot now pray to my Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels?

54. But how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?
